Imagine True Colors

Cyndi Lauper, Armin van Buuren, Vangelis, The Raveonettes and more

“I get the greatest feeling when I'm singing. It's other-worldly. Your feet are anchored into the Earth and into this energy force that comes up through your feet and goes up the top of your head and maybe you're holding hands with the angels or the stars, I have no idea.” - Cyndi Lauper

We are proud to present the second cooperation between Armada Music and Music on Vinyl with the fantastic release of Armin van Buuren's Imagine (including the fan favourite single “In And Out Of Love” feat. Sharon Den Adel). Another fantastic title is Vangelis' Gift, which includes three fantastic collaborations with John Anderson (Yes). Cyndi Lauper's album True Colors spawned several successful singles, like “True Colors” and “Change Of Heart”. Besides we have a Best of album by the Dutch band Skik. For our coloured vinyl lovers we have a bunch of new editions, Music From The Star Wars Saga (Trooper coloured), The Raveonettes' Pretty In Black (crystal clear vinyl), Ennio Morricone's Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (transparent pink vinyl) and Theo Croker's Star People Nation (crystal clear vinyl).
