Heavy Soul Records - NEW RELEASES and pre-order updates

 

PRE-ORDER UPDATES

This is the shit bit.... 

I have been in regular contact with the pressing plant and orders have now been put back by about two months. Smart Alec has arrived and the next one will be PH2 "1974" which many of you have kindly pre-ordered. This was due end of December, then end of January and now looks like end of MARCH!!!

This is purely down to the greed of companies like Universal etc who have basically booked all the pressing plants in Europe to fill HMV up with reissues of albums you can buy at a third of the price in your local second hand record shop.

I took a look in my local HMV and was shocked to see what mediocre LPs are being pushed out. When I last looked at the vinyl chart Fleetwood Mac were still #2 behind Adele!

Anyway, these are the reasons everything is taking so long. I profusely apologise for all of this and the plant are trying to get things to me earlier, but the next few releases are looking like this time-wise:

ROR139 PH2 "1974" 25/03

ROR140 REACTION "This Is Now, That Was Then" LP/CD 27/04

ROR141 THE CHORDS UK "21st Century Girl" 05/05

ROR142 PH2 "Urban Soul" 10/05

ROR143 THE TIMES "Patrick McGoohan" 15/05

ROR145 THE TIMES "Here Comes The Times... Vol 1" 27/06

ROR147 THE TIMES "Whatever Happened To Thamesbeat" 27/07
