Vinyl Circus

Hooverphonic, Flamin' Groovies, Toxik, Marc Moulin, Laura Jansen and 300: Rise of an Empire

This week we have another great set of vinyl albums ready to become part of your record collection.

Let's start with two amazing releases from Belgium. It's Hooverphonic with their 1996 debut album A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular, coming out on limited edition transparent blue vinyl. Only 1500 copies are made, and the package includes an insert with our Hooverphonic catalogue. And then we have Placebo Years, a compilation of songs made by composer Marc Moulin during his time in the jazz-rock group Placebo. The album is released as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on turquoise coloured vinyl.

Need something to rock out to? No worries, we've got you covered. Today is the release date for Jumpin' in the Night by American rock band Flamin' Groovies. Their sixth album is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent green coloured vinyl, and contains an insert. If you prefer something a bit heavier, we can recommend World Circus by the American thrash metal band Toxik. Get this progressive thrash metal classic as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on light green coloured vinyl. This record also comes with an insert!

Also available today: Dutch singer Laura Jansen's new album We Saw A Light. This impressive body of work, which is released on black vinyl, discusses the singer's experiences working at a refugee camp on Lesbos, Greece.

There's one addition to our At The Movies catalogue this week. It's the soundtrack to the 2014 epic action film 300: Rise of an Empire. Composed by Dutch DJ Junkie XL, the score is now available on vinyl for the first time. It's a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on translucent red vinyl and contains an insert.

THE FLAMIN’ GROOVIES - JUMPIN’ IN THE NIGHT

American rock band The Flamin' Groovies were established in 1965, and are still active today: that marks an impressive career spanning over six decades. Jumpin' In The Night is their sixth studio album, released in 1979. Although it initially didn't fare well commercially and eventually led to a change in personnel, the album was a critical success and still is received well among music critics and fans.
