1994’s Four-Calendar Café (2024 Remaster)& 1996’s Milk & Kisses (2024 Remaster) (LP)
Cocteau Twins
Theses reissues brings the records to vinyl in the United States for the first time, under the 4AD label. Robin Guthrie made 24-bit masters from his original studio mixes. The sound is amazing. I have only owned the CD’s ( and yes Cassette’s ) If you have a turntable run , do not walk and pick this up. Milk & Kiss’s is/was a “go to album “ that saw me thru a death, a major breakup & the last time I lived for an extensive time in London. It will always be in rotation. If i’m not mistaken it was recorded as the relationship between Robin & Elizabeth ended.

Bauhaus Staircase (CD)
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the
Their 4th recording since reforming in 2006 ( i think their 14th album? )
Whether live or recorded O.M.D. keeps my spirit of the new wave 80s alive and ( dad ) dancing! I picked this up on CD ( i believe it lends itself better to this format ) though i’ll add the Vinyl to my archive.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret Reissue (LP)
Soft Cell
(2 or 6 CD’s)The CD set offers 40 previously unreleased tracks. THis is definitely for the completest ( the box is about 10 inch size ) . These synth-pop pioneers ( would there be a Pet Shop Boys? ) taught us all about lurid disco dollies!
