A place called home

Highlighting unknown, obscure or simply excellent musicians

A small personal website with the aim to share detailed release information for a number of artists, but also to highlight some items from my collection

Previous Stuff

  • Mumm-Ra Technicolour

    Another release which I never added until today: Mumm-Ra’s Technicolour which was a digital single, released in April 2013 through good old BandCamp.

  • Lovelife Feel EP

    We can expect a new digital EP from Lovelife as of February 4th. You can check the details and the artwork over here! The EP will be called Feel and is going to feature four recordings.

  • Lovelife Stateless 10″

    Here we go, the first update for 2014 which is for Lovelife. I’ve made scans of their latest 10″ EP called Stateless tonight including the regular (but limited) commercial release plus a white label test pressing (probably limited to 5 copies). Enjoy!

  • Lovelife 2 updates

    Two miscellaneous releases for Lovelife tonight! The first one was a CD EP issued in April this year called MMXIII and was for sale during a short US tour. The second release was released only one month later on lovely vinyl, being a split 7″ with The Neighbourhood with the tracks West Coast/Every Minute.

  • 宇宙戦隊NOIZ single #5

    宇宙戦隊NOIZ released their latest single called ライカ two days ago in Japan which is the last single of their five month single campaign. The best was probably kept for last since this is arguably the best of the five singles. It once again comes as two different editions, each one containing a DVD. The big question now is: what’s next? Can we maybe expect an album anytime soon?

  • Lovelife Stateless CD

    I already got this item somewhere last week, but didn’t felt like scanning and updating the website until now. This is a promotional CD copy of Lovelife’s latest EP Stateless. Besides the unique radio edit that can be found on the disc it also comes in a slightly alternate sleeve!

  • 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.
