Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
yeah thanks Ross. the litho version was the same price as the normal one on recordstore. But damn, had to resist filling my basket with some of their cool prints.
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
I so didn't need to buy this. Already got 2 CD versions of it but .... It's Dead Cities, I *have* to have it !
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
Agreed. I have the CD version with the book, and last year bought a vinyl copy off Discogs (paid too much for a not so great copy). The vinyl re-release was an instant buy, but then i saw about the version with the litho print and my wallet shed a tear... but haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet.
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
Just received the 12'' with the litho print (is 'litho' just a posh name for slightly shiny cardboard?!) - It's 12''x12'' in size and is the same image as the front cover of the album (including the 'The Future Sound of London' & 'Dead Cities' text at the top). Oddly the image seems to have been upscaled from a lower resolution version of the album cover art leading to everything being slightly pixel-y (everything except for the white 'The Future Sound of London' text)
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
Cheers for the info mcbpete. I do love the cover. My only other FSOL poster/print is a massive poster of a speaker that i got years ago and can't remember where from, but i've kept it for decades! Don't think i'll ever get away with putting that back up in my house - questions would be asked . The litho might be more discreet.
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
Forgot to mention (not sure if it's of use Ross or not but ...) - The lithograph prints are a hand numbered edition of 100, I have unlucky #13
Re: Dead Cities 2LP reissue
Mine came today....big surprise..... #1/100 ....ta daaah!
The envelope of the litho print have also its own barcode....just wondering if it is an in store "thing" or just Virgin/UMC's official "marketing strategy"...anyway cool print to frame!!!

Principles of Motion reissue 29th April
Intelligent Communication - Principles of Motion EP, 12” reissue on 29th April.
The EP was considered one of Brian & Gaz’s weaker releases by Jumpin’ & Pumpin’, who weren’t especially impressed in 1991, and clearly didn’t understand its combination of melodic electro and Detroit techno in an era of UK ‘ardcore, but it’s lasted the test of time and has become a fan favourite in the intervening years, receiving a remastered download release on FSOLDigital eight years ago and fetching higher prices than most J&P 12”s, making it a welcome reissue.
