We're very excited that one of our all-time favourite Australian records is finally being put onto vinyl! Purplene's s/t final LP from 2004 is being pressed by @hobbledehoyrecords on gatefold LP for the first time ever. Stock is still about a month away, but we're taking pre-orders from anyone who's keen to secure a copy (only 300 are being pressed). It will be $35 and should arrive around March 1st. "This adventurous and brooding album by Sydney band Purplene is regarded by most as their definitive work, recorded by Steve Albini. A classic Australian emo record originally released 2004 by Spunk Records on CD, this classic is finally on gatefold vinyl with digital download. Members would later go on to form Charge Group and Firekites" #purplene #hobbledehoy #chargegroup #firekites (at Beatdisc Records)

This is really different from what I usually listen to, but I like it.  And like most of my accidental musical discoveries, Purplene has already broken up before I found out about them, which is unfortunate.
