Out This Week / 15 June 2015

Air / The Virgin Suicides (box set / reissue)

Air‘s fine soundtrack to Sofia Coppola’s 1999 film is reissued as a double CD deluxe edition and a lavish box, which features CDs, coloured vinyl and a picture disc. 

David Bowie / Hours (vinyl release)

Bowie‘s 1999 album Hours was probably his weakest of that decade but it still has its moments and he did manage to squeeze three UK top 40 hit singles from it. Remarkably, never issued on vinyl – until now. 

James Taylor / Before This World (super deluxe box)

First new material from James Taylor in 13 years, Before This World is available in a number of configurations including a three-disc super deluxe edition.

Eddi Reader‘s three 1990s albums for Geoff Travis’ label are collected in this new box along with extensive bonus tracks.
