Curve - Frozen [12", EP]

A great 12" by CURVE. Toni Halliday was in those days without doubt one of the sexiest women in indie rock. Coast Is Clear, which just like the rest of this EP was not featured on their debut album Doppelgänger, is still one of my favourite Curve songs.

Slowdive - Souvlaki [12", LP, Unofficial]

This album i've been looking for on vinyl for quite a while. Not so much specifically this bootleg version, but the SOUVLAKI album at itself. So when i found this one in an online webstore in the States i just had to buy it. That was a few months before Music On Vinyl would release their (official) reissue.

It's pretty obvious that this is a bootleg release. First of all, it has more tracks than the original release has: 15 tracks in total, spread over 4 sides (instead of 10 spread over 2 sides):

The bonus tracks are sourced from B-sides from singles.

Also the insert is rather ugly compared to the one in the Music On Vinyl edition. I have no idea if the original on Creation had an insert by the way, but i assume Music On Vinyl copied their version straight from the original.


But the stupidest thing is that they reproduced the correspondence address for SLOWDIVE while that band does not exist anymore for many years:


Also, just like the Blue Day bootleg, this version has Japanese text written on the back. Probably to make it look extra interesting.

Ah well, it's a funny release to have, to spice up the collection a bit. But the sound quality is way inferior to the Music On Vinyl release.

Slowdive - Souvlaki [12", LP]

Shortly after Just For A Day, Music On Vinyl reissued SLOWDIVE's SOUVLAKI album as well in 2011. And just like the originals of its predecessor, the original Creation releases of this album go for a lot of money.
Probably because of that, a while before before the Music On Vinyl edition was released in Europe, an inferior quality bootleg was released in the USA. That version might have a few bonus tracks, but this straight copy from the original album is of superb audiophile quality. Very happy that Music On Vinyl released this album.

This is how the insert looks like:

Slowdive - Just For A Day [12", LP]

JUST FOR A DAY was SLOWDIVE's first full length album. The original release on Creation Records from 1991 is pretty expensive these days. Luckily, the Music On Vinyl label decided to reissue this great dreampop classic in 2011.
Brilliant quality, 180gram audiophile vinyl. One of my favourite albums from the nineties for sure; i fell in love with this band when i first saw their video of Catch The Breeze (from this album) on MTV's 120 Minutes.

Ride - Today Forever [12", EP]

RIDE never really got the attention they deserved. Most people nowadays only know them as "the old band of that guy from Oasis" (Andy Bell) but i personally like this Oxford band 10 times better than the Mancunian lot.
This TODAY FOREVER EP was released after their full length debut Nowhere, which is still one of my favourite albums ever.

Adorable - Favourite Fallen Idol [12", Promo]

A rare one-sided one-track promo 12" by ADORABLE. Their song FAVOURITE FALLEN IDOL comes from the Against Perfection album. Not my favourite song of the album (that's gotta be Homeboy), but still nice release to have in my Creation Records collection.

My Bloody Valentine - Glider EP Remixes [12"]

Another nice item from my MY BLOODY VALENTINE collection: the GLIDER EP REMIXES 12".
It features the Andrew Weatherall Remix of the song Soon. Funny thing is that it doesn't mention the song title anywhere.
A friend of mine recently came across this 12" and i traded it with him for something from my collection that he liked. Gotta love friends like him.

Label: Creation Records

Year of release: 1990
