It's nearly here again Record Store Day 20th April 2013.


Record Store Day 2013's ambassador is Mr Jack White. He owns a record store, he runs a record label, manufacturers his own vinyl, he's an analogue fan. We can't think of anyone else better to fly the flag for Record Store Day 2013.

 



Good news for us is that analogue fiends Peter Parker's Rock N Roll Club are releasing a limited 7" EP on transparent blue vinyl via Those Old Records.

Storm Thorgerson 1944 - 2013


Storm Elvin Thorgerson 1944-2013
  Once again sad news reaches us with the news that Storm Thorgerson has passed away.

Storm was practically peerless with his artwork and album designs and has left a great void in the music and art world.

A message on the Pink Floyd's website states "We are saddened by the news that long-time Pink Floyd graphic genius, friend and collaborator, Storm Thorgerson, has died."




Nick Mason remarked that Storm had "great ideas and high, sometimes infuriatingly high, standards". 

David Gilmour called him "an inseparable part of our work". 

He went on to say "We first met in our early teens. We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed. He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend. 

The artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work. I will miss him. David Gilmour."

Storm Thorgerson's artwork graced the album covers by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, The Mars Volta amongst so many others.
