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
McCartney uncut
Ex-Beatles member Paul McCartney released around 100 singles in the UK throughout his career as of 1971. Either solo or with his band Wings.
Among these singles were two called We All Stand Together and Dance Tonight.
We All Stand Together was released in 1984 during a time when his career was deemed to go in a downward spiral. Mainly due to some private mishappenings, but also his negatively received Give My Regards To Broad Street movie. In comes this release, as it brought him back into the charts (number three in the UK). It was released as a 7″ single and a 7″ shaped picture disc. As with most shaped picture discs, an uncut test pressing was initially made which is shown in the photo on the left.
Moving forward to 2007 brings us to the single for Dance Tonight. A nice song in my opinion, just as the one from ’84. This one was released as a download and again a 7″ shaped picture disc. The 7″ oddly features the song on both sides so there is no proper B-side. An uncut test pressing also exists for this release. However, there is also a single-sided test pressing which features the regular images on both sides, although only side A contains music. Does this mean that they initially intended to release this as a single-sided disc? I guess we’ll never know. The double-sided disc is shown in the photo on the right whereas the single-sided one is at the bottom, with the blank side facing upwards.
Both discs are 12″ in size with 7″ grooves which contain the music. All three only come in a clear plastic sleeve.
