March Releases

  Here's the release schedule for March.  Again, sometimes record release dates go back (or cancelled all together), and there'll be additions throughout the month, but this is close enough to be getting on with.  All are available to pre-order on the site (with free in-store collection for locals).  If there's something you're interested in that's not listed here, feel free to drop us a line and we'll order it in for you - shop@southrecordshop.com 2nd March Ata Kak – Obaa Sima Big Star – Nothing Can Hurt Me (DVD) Clarence Clarity – No Now Evans The Death – Expect...

February Releases

As we're all anxious to know when the next Rhianna album is coming I thought it might be worth putting up a list of upcoming records.  Starting by doing it for each month, otherwise you'll be trawling through a very long list.  All of these are on the site to pre-order (and don't forget, you can order and choose in-store pickup to reserve things). Worth noting that sometimes records get put back, appear from nowhere, or just cancelled all together, so this won't be gospel but close enough for now: 2nd February All We Are – All We Are Joey...

Albums of 2014

When it comes to opinions and tastes, lists are pretty stupid, one mans ceiling is another's floor and all that.  But in music, despite being the opposite of what (I'd hope) most people make music for, lists get churned out on a daily basis ("10 Best Hats Worn By Left Handed People In Bands" etc).  Everybody can get overwhelmed by all the new stuff that's out there, so with unerring uniformity record shops (and magazines, blogs, gobby people etc) will always do an end of year list.  Some would list their best sellers of the year, most however pick the records they...

Ultramarine Live At South 15/11/14

On Saturday Ultramarine came down to sunny (rainy) Southend to play live in the shop.  The gig was to coincide with the re-issue of 1991's Every Man And Woman Is A Star on Rough Trade. It was all filmed and recorded, so hopefully soon enough we'll have some footage to share.  In the meantime, here's some photos by Mark Lancaster Every Man And Woman Is A Star is in stock here. "Everyone had a lovely time and were grateful their attentions were not distracted the lure of the Hoff turning on the Southend Xmas lights (the Essex version of Sophie's Choice)....
