Now Shipping: TKP single and Fall LPs November 18 2016

Hitting stores on Black Friday! An archival single by New Zealand legends This Kind Of Punishment. The previously unreleased Radio Silence was recorded in 1984 and reflects this seminal band's unique alchemy of poignant melody and four-track claustrophobia. Pressed on limited edition color vinyl, these will go fast!

Also shipping this week, we have the next titles in our Fall reissue series. If there even could be a masterpiece in The Fall's expansive and unique catalogue, it would be Hex Enduction Hour. Collecting their most experimental and improvisational recordings, Room To Live is built on Mark E. Smith's by-now characteristic dressing-downs of square life. This is the first time that both albums are available on vinyl domestically since 1982.

Just Announced: Suicide and The Fall LPs May 06 2016

We are excited to announce SV's reissue of four classic albums that truly deserve to be in every record collection.

Suicide's influential self-titled LP was originally released in 1977. Martin Rev's utterly singular "instrument" pounds out a synthetic soundscape, while Alan Vega obsesses over cinematic imagery. This vinyl release has been carefully restored from the original mixes and fully sanctioned by the band. Liner notes by Thurston Moore. Pre-order here

Originally released in 1980, Alan Vega Martin Rev (the second album from quintessential New York band Suicide) features glistening keyboards, early rhythm machine sounds and evocative vocal treatments. Produced by Ric Ocasek. This first-time vinyl reissue includes the original track list and artwork. Pre-order here

The Fall's debut album, Live At The Witch Trials, amounts to the sinister foundation of the band's diverse sound. As Mark E. Smith's mesmerizing bark dictates, "We are The Fall, northern white crap that talks back." First time available on vinyl domestically since its initial release in 1979. Liner notes by Brian Turner. Pre-order here

Dragnet is arguably The Fall's best-known album, revealing a cohesive sound and fierce songs that would further build the band's cult following. First time available on vinyl domestically since its original release in 1979. Liner notes by Brian Turner. Pre-order here


Shipping Next Week: 2016 Punk Singles April 01 2016

Shipping next week, some of the best music ever made. All from New York and Manchester, circa 1978-79.

Suicide is the classic proto-punk duo composed of Alan Vega and Martin Rev. Their first single, Cheree, was originally released in England just months after their landmark self-titled LP. Their second single, Dream Baby Dream, has been covered by many artists – most famously Bruce Springsteen. First-time vinyl reissue and first-time domestic release. Limited edition red vinyl.

The Fall's debut Bingo-Master's Break-Out and their follow-up It's The New Thing boldly announce the arrival of this UK group that eschewed the cosmetic elements of punk and New Wave. While Mark E. Smith's acid-tinged poetry illuminates the dour North, the band's snot-nosed scrabble afflicts the shape of pop to come. First-time vinyl reissue and first-time domestic release. Limited edition blue vinyl.

DNA recorded their lone single just prior to the pivotal No New York sessions with Brian Eno. Featuring original lineup with Arto Lindsay (guitar/vocals), Robin Crutchfield (keyboards) and Ikue Mori (drums), You & You perfectly captures the anti-movement of No Wave. First-time vinyl reissue. Limited edition clear vinyl.

These five singles can be found in stores everywhere on April 16th. Very few copies left for pre-order.
