Monday, July 13, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Xpander EP
A 1999 double-12" EP from Sasha, remixer for Madonna, Moby and the Chemical Brothers. Four epic 10-minute-plus progressive trance workouts — Belfunk, Xpander, Rabbitweed and Baja — whose slow-building tension left a deep mark on techno and trance. MOV numbered clear-vinyl reissue, limited to 1,000.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Original Soundtrack)
The soundtrack to the acclaimed 2025 RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, sold out on release and due to restock in November. Scored by Lorien Testard with gold-foil cover art by director Nicholas Maxson-Francombe. The 2LP holds twenty tracks; the 6LP box collects all sixty-three.
Reading, Writing and Arithmetic
One of three classic Sundays albums reissued together in 2026. The 1990 debut carries the evergreen 'Here's Where the Story Ends,' pairing Harriet Wheeler's ethereal voice with David Gavurin's crystalline guitar — a pivotal record for British indie and the dream-pop generation that followed.
Blind
The Sundays' second album (1992) is more mature and restrained, its melodies melancholy and lovely. Harriet Wheeler's ethereal vocals and David Gavurin's atmospheric guitar carry on the band's blend of Smiths-like poetry and Cocteau Twins beauty. Official 2026 reissue.
Static & Silence
The Sundays' final studio album (1997), home to their best-known single 'Summertime' and a gentle, valedictory glow. If your shelves hold The Cranberries, Cocteau Twins and Mazzy Star, this completes the dream-pop collection. Official 2026 reissue.
Bohemian Rhapsody (The Original Soundtrack)
Long out of stock, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody film soundtrack returns on 2LP this month. It gathers career-spanning classics plus the 1985 Live Aid set — the full musical record of the blockbuster biopic.
The first release in Primal Scream's expanded 'Bunker Trilogy' reissue, and the first album with ex-Stone Roses bassist Mani — who died last November, making this also a memorial. 1997's Vanishing Point takes its name from the cult road movie, fusing psych-rock, deep dub low-end and 60s pop echoes into what Bobby Gillespie called 'an anarchist speed-freak road movie record.' 2LP clear vinyl with bonus B-sides and new Darran Anderson liner notes.
