'Only The Strong Survive is the new album from Bruce Springsteen, and his first new album since 2020’s Letter To You. The album is a collection of soul music gems, that celebrate the legendary songbooks of Gamble and Huff, Motown, Stax and many more.'

A new 5LP box set The Virgin Years is released this week. 'This set contains their albums from their time with Virgin Records and all records come in coloured vinyl (chosen by the band) and in tip on sleeves, all housed in a sturdy box with a poster. The band have just completed a sold-out UK tour playing Dare in its entirety.'

The fabulous Christine & The Queens is back as 'Redcar' with new album Redcar Les Adorables Etoiles 

'Redcar is only the beginning. This is all an opera. It will take some time to unveil, the same way it is unveiling to Redcar, as he acknowledges his crazy freedom. Angels and stars, the sovereign verb, the heart at its centre. Redcar is not really there to affirm anything but the need to say who we are and what we pray for every day.'

We have the limited edition transparent red LP + poster and also CD

Christine and the Queens recently appeared on Jools Holland on the same show as our mate Matt Park who was playing pedal steel guitar accompanying Rita Wilson and Jackson Browne, well worth checking out over on BBC iplayer
