Mirrors news!
Fresh news just came in from Mirrors through their Facebook page:
Currently watching Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle) live at the De La Warr Pavilion and it’s blowing our minds! Now we’re thinking… It’s been too long. If there are any Mirrors fans still out there, we’ll be putting 2 new tracks out on Monday the 18th June.

Major update
At last. It took me two weeks, but I nailed it. As you can see I re-designed the whole website. I got a bit tired of the previous design as it looked too dark, almost too depressing. I hope you like it and that you consider it as an improvement!
Now let’s move on to the good stuff! First off all I have added catalogue numbers to each and every release that is featured on this website. I already did a few last month, but the missing ones have now been added.
I furthermore created separate entries for each type of release. You have the option between Albums, Singles, EP’s or Miscellaneous. I hope that this improves the browsing experience a bit. You certainly do not need to scroll down that much anymore! 😉
A few new releases have been added. Find below the list, broken down per artist:
宇宙戦隊NOIZ:
Counteraction —V-Rock covered Visual Anime songs Compilation—; a new compilation CD from Japan which features one cover song by 宇宙戦隊NOIZ. This song is stunning if I may say so!
Zebra and Snake:
Money In Heaven; scans of the promotional CD has been added.
Healing Music; did you know that there are minor differences for each format of this album? No? Well then, head over to their page and see the differences. I have furthermore added three different promotional CDr copies that were created for the album.

Latest collection feature
Red Synchronicity
What are the odds!? Today I received this lovely red vinyl copy of the Police’s album Synchronicity. Only a few hours later the band announced a wonderful (belated) 40th anniversary 6 CD set featuring B-sides, demos, out-takes, alternate mixes, instrumentals and an unreleased live gig!
This red vinyl edition was released sometime in 1984, about a year after its initial June 1983 release. It was only released in Australia to promote the band’s Australian 1984 tour. The package comes with the standard printed inner sleeve plus a double sided “4 colour pin-up” which features a band photo on one side and an advertisement for all of their albums on the other.
The album was also released on yellow, dark blue and baby blue (or azure as it’s called on Discogs) vinyl in Australia. New Zealand had the same dark blue vinyl release in 1983, again to promote that local tour, though the hype sticker on the artwork is slightly different.
A, probably one-off, splattered vinyl pressing was also made in Australia. This was a custom pressing, never meant to be released. Although it was made using the original stampers, the band or record label never commissioned the pressing plant to make this version, so this may arguably be a semi-official release. Nevertheless it is a very rare item and a holy grail for Police collectors!
