Lisbon Rarity

Big thanks to Chris H for submitting the following evidence of the Lisbon one-sided 12 inch!

And to think I bemoaned there were only 300 copies of the Helen EP!

The Plural Of Vinyl Is Vinyl

Lisbon exists! On 7 inch! I hold in my hands incontrovertible tangible evidence - the 7 inch itself. Happy to report as it's existence was in doubt, at least in my own mind. Cracking b-side too, "One By One (Electric)", is an If You Leave It Alone style gentle number with a lovely horn part and Freschard coo-ing in the background. Which makes me wonder what One By One (Acoustic/Normal) would sound like as the released version really isn't very "electric". Excellent though. Shame there's no download code but I guess that'll keep the 7 inch special. A friend asked me why I was spending £5 on a 7 inch when I already had the lead track, but there you go - fandom!

Speaking of which, if you're waiting for the WP's to get off tour and send out the double-vinyl to you I'm here to tell you it's well worth waiting for. 2LP gatefold, white-vinyl, 2CD's in the package, full lyrics and snazzy pictures, it's really a terrific package. Great pressing too as it plays flat and silent (between songs, I mean).

Despite the band obviously being vinyl fans, I feel like I've complained about waiting for vinyl pressings on a number of releases over the last couple years. Well, not this time around - it's a great time to be a WP's vinyl fan!
