DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Golden Age of Wireless is the debut album by English musician Thomas Dolby. The album was originally released in May 1982. Several tracks have a submerged, barely audible layer of almost random sound that serves as a constant (and disturbing) subtext, occasionally erupting into a song. This sonic underworld is all part of Dolby's mechanical wizardry.
Rolling Stone magazine awarded The Golden Age of Wireless four stars out of five, calling it "one of the most impressive debuts" of 1982. They compared the album's melodicism to the works of Paul McCartney and concluded that "unlike many synthesizer bands from England, Dolby eschews morbid, droogy drones." Musician magazine said the album was "the best damned record to come out of Europe's current fascination with synth-pop. Period." They added, "Dolby is purely amazing. And best of all, he writes songs."
The Golden Age Of Wireless is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on silver coloured vinyl and includes an insert.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can also check out our complete FAQ section here.
We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.
Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!
If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.
A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.
Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.
When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.
The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.
If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

with care. But vinyl is a delicate product, and each pressing is unique!
This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.

Let customers speak for us
from 37 reviewsI always loved the music score on all the transformers movies. Rise of the beasts has an awesome score that keeps this fresh but also takes some inspiration from the 1986 cartoon movie with Unicron's theme and some nods to the original 2007 movie. But also doing something completely original to set itself apart from what came before.
For some reason I didn't know this was available on vinyl fabulous release by music on vinyl very happy thank you
Excellent sound track glad I opted for the music on vinyl issue rather than the Sony picture disc
Always reliable and high quality. Digitally sourced but always very high quality presses and more modern content in the main that other labels don’t do.
