Superheroes On Vinyl

A Very Spidey Christmas, Top 2000, Amy MacDonald, George Faith, Man Of Steel

It might be a strange time to celebrate Christmas this year, but we've got some superheroes ready to help save the holidays. Starting with the one and only Spider-Man: the 5-track EP A Very Spidey Christmas is out now for the first time, featuring the Spider-Man cast's renditions of some Christmas classics. It's the Spider-Man themed Christmas album that Peter Parker jokes about in the opening scene of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! This 10” is a limited edition of 2500 numbered copies on white vinyl (side A) and a full colour picture (side B).

Last week we released the 60's, 70's and 80's editions of the Top 2000 compilation lp's. Today we're unleashing the 90's, 00's and 10's: three wonderful double albums containing a selection of the best songs from the past three decades that charted in the Dutch Top 2000. Some of the artists featured on these records are The Cure, Jeff Buckley, Amy Winehouse, Pearl Jam, John Mayer and Lana Del Rey. All three are released on coloured vinyl with a limited supply of just 2000 copies.

Singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald's debut album This Is The Life, featuring hit singles “This Is The Life” and “Mr. Rock & Roll”, can turn your home straight into your own personal English pub. The album is now available on black vinyl. Also available on black vinyl: George Faith's 1977 album To Be A Lover, featuring some incredible soul and r&b covers of songs originally recorded by Wilson Pickett, The O'Jays and Paul Anka.  

Lastly, we're taking a little trip to Krypton this week. Vinyl enthusiasts with a love for movies based on DC Comics will be happy to learn that we're releasing Hans Zimmer's OST to the 2013 Superman film Man of Steel. It's a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent red vinyl.
