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
Queen US shop display
Queen were on a roll during the early 80’s. They had a massive hit under their belt with the album The Game in 1980 and released a nice soundtrack album a few months later for Flash Gordon. In November 1981 they released their first compilation album called Greatest Hits, featuring most of their singles. It became an instant success and has to date sold over 25 million copies world wide!
In order to promote the album, some nice marketing items were made including, but not limited to, posters and promotional copies of the album itself. Besides those items, the US had a mobile shop display which is featured in the photo. It measures 37x37cm/14.5×14.5in in size and the logo, album title and group photo are cut out and tied together with some strings. This allows the outer edge to move and rotate separately from the two inner parts, making a nice effect when in motion.
A lot of copies were returned or binned after the promotional period ended, making this a hard to find item these days. In fact, this is arguably true for most shop displays so grab it if you find one!
