Out This Week / on 25 May 2018
Prince / Nothing Compares 2 U (seven-inch)
The excitement at the release of this Prince rarity is rather soured by the unabashed commercialism demonstrated the Estate. The picture disc version of Nothing Compares 2 U can only be ordered from the official site in the US and you can’t even buy it on its own – just as part of a vinyl+T-shirt bundle! The black vinyl version is widely available, though.
Bow Wow Wow / Your Box Set Pet
Your Box Set Pet: The Complete Recordings 1980-1984 is a new three CD box set featuring the output of early eighties new wave band Bow Wow Wow.
