Counting an acetate as vinyl (of sorts), this playlist is 97% vinyl friendly. Soooo close!

Oi! Shelves is for vinyl, numptie! I can see right through it! It’s a Turntable Transrotor Leonardo Doppio 25 25 40 Rega and it’s yours for €3500 or Best Offer right now on eBay.

Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here.

Lyric of Playlist 135

‘There’s a man with a gun over there. Telling me I got to beware… ‘ The gun and Stills’ lyric both loaded.

NEW ORDER – Evil Dust (2024 Remaster) – Brotherhood, Definitive Edition box set – Warner Music – 2024

Yep, indeed included on the latest in the line of New Order Definitive Edition boxset beasts but this in house remix (the band’s own, I’m assuming) of Angel Dust originally crept out only as an extra on the 1985 PAL format, UK 5″ C(ompact)D(isc)V(ideo) (phew) of True Faith (the Remix 12 Inch), with the samples (David Byrne and Brian Eno’s tunes, Regiment and The Carrier) more upfront in replacing Barney’s lead vocal.

And again while we’re here in New Order land. Below: Another photo of Dave Simpson (The Guardian) MC’ing myself, Jon Wozencroft and The Beloved’s Jon Marsh (he’ll be back this show) on stage at London’s Rough Trade East last November reminiscing around my recent From Heaven to Heaven – New Order Live, The Early Years (1981-1984) At Close Quarters republication.

MARIE DAVIDSON – Sexy Clown – City Of Clowns, LP – Deewee – 2025

Within a Limited Edition Transparent vinyl LP, some minimal wave bizniz underpinning dry spoken word, and like a multitude of tunes in the modern age purporting to inhabit Edgy Town, using melodies (here it’s the chorus) that sound as if they’re chasing the 10yr-olds demographic. Discuss… no, don’t.

CORAL WAY CHIEFS – Release Myself (13th Ave Mix) – 12″ – Murk Records – 1992

‘This is a label that just keeps getting better. Their fifth release has a male vocal laid over the ever classic deep Purk-y bass sounds – this one’s a must‘. – CJ Mackintosh, Record Mirror (Music Week), 3.10.92

I reckon you can’t go wrong with an early Murk Recs 12″.
