SDE Shop quick pre-order

Yes founder and bassist Chris Squire’s 1975 album Fish Out Of Water is being reissued for its 50th anniversary as a CD+blu-ray set which includes a new Dolby Atmos Mix.

Recorded in the late spring and summer of 1975 while Yes was on hiatus (as members recorded their respective solo albums), Fish Out Of Water was essentially a collaboration between Chris Squire and his friend Andrew Pryce Jackman, an arranger who had been a member of The Syn, Squire’s band prior to the formation of Yes.

The album features contributions from former Yes drummer Bill Bruford, Yes keyboard player Patrick Moraz and noted musicians Mel Collins and Jimmy Hastings. The album was a Top 30 chart hit in the UK and also made the Top 75 in the US, going on to sell nearly 500,000 copies worldwide.

For this 50th anniversary CD+blu-ray set, engineer Stephen W Tayler has created new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo mixes. The Blu-ray Disc also includes the Fish Out Of Water promotional film featuring ‘Hold Out Your Hand’ and ‘You By My Side’ and an album audio commentary from Chris Squire himself, recorded in 2006.

Fish Out Of Water is released on 10 July 2026 (was 26 June) via Esoteric. You can support SDE by pre-ordering via the SDE shop using this link or the button below.

The album is described as “a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared” and the album features 14 new songs and finds Paul “writing with rare openness about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania”. The first single is called acoustic number called, ‘Days We Left Behind’ which Paul describes as a “memory song”.

Both CD and vinyl editions feature embossed cover artwork and the vinyl includes a 12-page lyric booklet (obviously the CD will have a booklet too).

It also includes a 5.1 Mix and the entire album in instrumental form, in Dolby Atmos, the first time Roxy Music have made available an instrumental version of any of their albums to be released.

Hear Tori Amos’ new single, ‘Shush’

Posted on March 25, 2026March 25, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Tori Amos has made available a second song from her forthcoming album In Times Of Dragons.

The track is called ‘Shush’ and you can listen to it, below. It forms part of the highly conceptual album and presents a fictionalised version of Tori who marries a power-hungry “lizard demon” billionaire, who symbolises unchecked power, concentrated wealth, and political corruption.

“He represents what we’re dealing with right now,” Amos says. “He sees congressmen, senators, and even probably presidents, as people who answer to him and other billionaires, who don’t think you and I should vote. He’s trying to develop the kind of feudal system we had hundreds of years ago. But it doesn’t look like it once did. We don’t look like we’re in the trenches, in the muck. We have all the cool, digital devices now. So it looks different. But it has the same philosophy.”

‘Shush’ is the opening song on the 17-track album, and the full tracklisting was finally made available last week (scroll down). In Times Of Dragons is available across a number of formats, including an SDE exclusive blu-ray (for which the pre-order window has now closed).

Since it was officially announced in January, a signed CD edition has turned up on Amazon in the UK so that is one that is well worth snagging. We should have some contingency stock of the blu-ray around the week of release.

In Times Of Dragons will be released on 1 May 2026 via Decca.

Paul McCartney’s new album has a title…

Posted on March 25, 2026March 25, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Paul McCartney’s new album will be called The Boys Of Dungeon Lane, according to his brother Mike McCartney.

In a grammatically loose post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) Mike said “Josh saw this teaser for r kids new album ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ in Liverpool yestas. It was familiar to him as he had designed the Dungeon Lane(Speke) artwork for his Uncle”

Josh is Mike’s son, Paul’s nephew and “r kid” is an abbreviation of ‘Our Kid’ which is of course an affectionate term for a sibling, particularly a brother, in Liverpool.

Dungeon Lane is a road in Speke, a suburb of Liverpool near what is now Liverpool John Lennon Airport, about a 15 minute drive from Paul’s old house in Forthlin Road. The postcode area is L24

A website has also been set up, with the URL theboysofdungeonlane.com which currently displays the artwork.

The title suggests Paul’s new album, at least in part, will have a nostalgic element to it, perhaps with references to The Beatles in their early days (‘Early Days’ was actually a song on 2013’s New). With Paul turning 84 on his next birthday (in June) it is hardly surprising that he’s thinking about where it all began. The Boys Of Dungeon Lane will be Paul’s 19th solo studio album (20th if you include Ram, which technically isn’t a solo album) and his first since the ‘rockdown’ release of McCartney III in 2020.

With a teaser campaign in full flow, an official announcement cannot be far off and could happen as soon as Friday this week. Stay tuned for more info on SDE.

Kraftwerk / Radio-Activity 50th anniversary blu-ray

Posted on March 18, 2026May 11, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Quick pre-order from the SDE shop

Kraftwerk have announced a 50th anniversary blu-ray edition of their 1975 album Radio-Activity.

Using the original 16-track master tapes, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Hütter with engineer Fritz Hilpert have created a brand-new Dolby Atmos Mix which takes Kraftwerk’s first all-electronic album and brings vivid new shading, forensic detail and richly layered cinematic depth to the most boldly experimental album in the Kraftwerk catalogue. I heard the Atmos Mix at a playback event in London last week and they’ve done a very good job with this mix.

The blu-ray edition features the album in the following versions:

Dolby Atmos Mix
5.1 Mix (48/24 – rendered from the Atmos)
Stereo Mix (48/24) [2009 remastered audio]

This region-free blu-ray audio comes with a booklet in clear amaray packaging, and ships with an SDE exclusive slipcase.

As with Autobahn from last year, there’s also a special vinyl picture disc edition of Radio-Activity which comes in a die-cut sleeve.

Radio-Activity is released on 15 May 2026 via Parlophone. You can pre-order your copy with the exclusive slipcase from the SDE shop using this link or the button below.

Eg and Alice on ‘Indian’

Posted on March 18, 2026March 18, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Eg and Alice were a short-lived duo who released just one album on WEA Records in 1991 called 24 Years Of Hunger.

A cult classic, a hidden masterpiece, an undiscovered gem… call it what you will, but the album – which has never been reissued – was influenced by Eg White and Alice Temple’s love of Prince, Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan and Curtis Mayfield.

SDE Records’s forthcoming 2CD deluxe reissue of 24 Years Of Hunger features the original album and a disc of unreleased songs and demos. It has already garnered four star reviews in Mojo and Classic Pop and a 9/10 review in Uncut who called it a “impeccable” and a “deluxe 2CD set of elegant, earnest, impassioned pop”

The 2CD set comes in DVD-sized hardcover book packaging with 36 pages of lyrics and track-by-track commentary by Eg and Alice themselves. In this exclusive extract, the pair discuss the first single from the album, ‘Indian’:

Eg White: ‘Indian’ came out as the first single. We hadn’t thought it was an important tune at all and then Rob Dickins at Warners [Chairman of Warner Music UK] said, “that’s the tune that we can make hay out of. That’s the one”. I’d seen The Neville Brothers and was inspired by their song ‘My Blood’, imposing a narrative of being an outsider, almost accidentally. And I think that’s why we got signed to Warners. Lots of people did want to sign us at that point, probably four or five labels, but Warners had made all the records we love: Prince, that whole West Coast tradition. We thought, “thank you very much”.

Alice Temple: We also went with Warners because they were offering us the least amount of money and, luckily, Eg understood that the less money we took, the less money we owed because I didn’t understand at all – I just thought they gave you free money! I never thought about the business side of music, but Eg understood all that.

Eg White: We couldn’t get ‘Indian’ right. We did seven versions of it and the verses just got sadder and sadder. In the end, Rob told us to go substantially back. But when I hear it now, it sounds so bad. My mum [Lucy White] played strings on it; mum and Juliet [Davey], her then girlfriend, and later, her wife. “Jack Malloy”, is actually Mark Malloy, but he didn’t go up to anyone [as the lyric suggests]. It was a kind of a piss take. Franke Madrid sang the backing vocals on it. He’d done backing vocals for Brother Beyond. I got Franke back, and he just smashed it, again.

Alice Temple: The only live stuff we did, which I get cold shivers even thinking about now, was ‘Indian’ on [UK TV chat show] ‘Wogan’. You’ve got to remember that I had never sung live before in my life. ‘Indian’ was my least favorite song, and then suddenly we had to do ‘Wogan’, and it was me singing live to playback. I’ll never forget it – I was in the BBC, and I was in the bathroom the entire time. Meanwhile, Eg and the rest of the band, they’re all having a laugh, because all they have to do is mime and I’m shitting myself, knowing I’ve got to sing live on ‘Wogan’. I was in a permanent state of just sheer panic.

Alice is, I think, very happy that this ‘Wogan’ performance of ‘Indian’ does not appear to be on YouTube! So I have never seen it!

a-ha / Analogue 2CD deluxe

Posted on March 17, 2026April 13, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

a-ha’s 2005 studio album, Analogue, will be released as a 2CD deluxe edition in April.

The band’s eighth album was produced by a-ha and Martin Terefe (mixed by Flood) and was notable for featuring ‘Analogue (All I Want)’, a song that returned a-ha to the top 10 of the UK singles charts after a 17 year drought. Swedish songwriter/producer Max Martin was brought in to work his magic on a song called ‘Minor Key Sonata (Analogue)’ and it was transformed into ‘Analogue (All I Want)’.

Other singles from the album include ‘Celice’ (which wasn’t issued in the UK) and ‘Cosy Prisons’, which featured backing vocals from Graham Nash.

Unlike the RSD 2LP vinyl (which simply spreads the album across four sides of vinyl) this 2CD set offers 21 bonus tracks, 15 of which are previously unreleased.

Appended to the album on CD 1 is a-ha’s last ‘proper’ B-side, the excellent ‘Case Closed On Silver Shore’, the radio mix of ‘Cosy Prisons’ and edits of ‘Celice’ and ‘Analogue (All I Want)’.

CD 2 is where it gets really interesting with early/alternate/demo versions of every album track, including the embryonic ‘Minor Key Sonata’ (which featured on the UK CD single of ‘Analogue’) and even an early version of the aforementioned ‘Case Closed On Silver Shore’.

This disc also includes three unreleased outtakes from the Analogue sessions. ‘Slanted Floor’ and ‘With You-With Me’ were both written by Morten Harket and Ole Sverre Olsen and later re-recorded for Morten’s 2008 solo album Letter From Egypt. The third outtake, ‘Windfalls’, was written by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy.

The two-disc set features newly mastered audio and is presented as a digipak with notes by Kieron Tyler with new contributions from the band’s Paul Waaktar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen.

This Analogue 2CD set will be reissued on 17 April 2026, via Rhino. The 2LP vinyl is out the next day for Record Store Day.

Posted on March 13, 2026April 20, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Quick pre-order

Jeff Buckley’s sublime debut album, Grace, is to be reissued on blu-ray audio next month.

Originally issued in August 1994 on Columbia Records, the album features a cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ as well as ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’.

Grace has been mixed in immersive Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound by Steven Wilson for this special blu-ray audio release.

Grace is released on blu-ray on 24 April 2026, via Sony. Pre-order from the SDE shop using this link or the button below. Going by our allocation these are going to be very limited.

George Michael / The Faith Tour

Posted on March 11, 2026March 11, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

A concert film of George Michael’s Faith Tour will be released later this year, alongside a live album.

Shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy during the European leg of the Faith Tour in 1988, George Michael: The Faith Tour has been restored from 35mm footage assembled from a 14-camera shoot captured over two nights. It has been directed by longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin.

The film will open with an original short film by Mary McCartney, titled ‘Finding Faith’, which offers “an intimate introduction contextualising the tour’s cultural significance, through a sensitive and cinematic lens”.

George Michael: The Faith Tour will receive a worldwide theatrical release and, significantly, will be accompanied by The Faith Tour, an 18-track live album of previously unreleased recordings featuring hits from George Michael’s Wham! and solo catalogues.

There are no further details in terms of release dates at this time, but we’ll keep you posted.

Midge Ure / A Man Of Two Worlds

Posted on March 10, 2026May 5, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Midge Ure will release A Man Of Two Worlds, a new double album, in May.

His first album of new material in 12 years sees the former Ultravox frontman divide the offering into two parts. The first half, World One: Music, consists of eight instrumental pieces, while the second half, World Two: Songs, features eight ‘proper’ songs (with vocals).

This concept is said to be partly inspired by the time Midge spent during lockdown listening to instrumental music, and some of the work he heard whilst presenting THE SPACE on Scala Radio. He began writing what became a selection of instrumental pieces — “music shaped by reflection, uncertainty, and a strange kind of quiet”.

The eight vocal songs which form the second part of the album, are described as “incredibly sparse and meditative”, with some songs dealing with the frailty of the human condition, underlying many songs is a reflection of Midge’s concerns for the discord infecting world today. You can preview lead tracks ‘Just Words’, above.

Speaking about the album, Midge says: “Almost every album I’ve made over the past 40+ years has featured at least one instrumental track. For this album I wanted to explore this further, showing two sides of what I do”.

The album is available as a deluxe 2CD media book set with 20-page booklet and as a double vinyl pressing. The official Midge Ure shop offers exclusive ‘bone’ coloured vinyl limited to just 300 copies (boasting an alternate front cover) as well as various bundles.

A Man Of Two Worlds will be released on 8 May 2026 via Chrysalis.

New Wham! in China documentary on the way

Posted on March 7, 2026July 24, 2026 by Paul Sinclair

Filmmaker Mike Christie has confirmed that he has directed a new feature length documentary about Wham!’s visit to China in 1985.

Wham! 10 Days In China is a 90-minute documentary that pieces together “the untold story” using newly restored footage alongside new and extensive, personal interviews from Andrew Ridgeley, members of the touring party, as well as some of the fans who made up the Chinese audiences whose experiences.

On his Instagram page, Christie says “It’s been a long haul to make, but a fascinating, very entertaining, and surprising film!”

On their famous 10-day visit to China in ’85, Wham! played two concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou (on 7th and 10th of April). The trip was documented by Palme D’Or winning film director Lindsay Anderson – best known for If (1968) and O Lucky Man! (1973) – but his 77 minute cut, called If You Were There, was rejected by the band. Anderson was let go and the film was re-edited and released on VHS and laserdisc as Wham! In China: Foreign Skies. The original If You Were There got its first (and probably last) public screening at London’s BFI (British Film Theatre) in 2024 as part of its O Dreamland! Lindsay Anderson’s Dark British Cinema season.

Director Mike Christie has a history of music documentaries. He made 2018’s Suede: The Insatiable Ones film, New Order: Decades (also 2018) and last year’s Nick Cave: Veiled World. Wham! 10 Days In China follows Chris Smith’s highly enjoyable Wham! documentary from 2023, which also featured a high profile participation from Andrew Ridgeley.
