BTD PRESENTS…
A trip down memory lane thanks to The Beatles and Dennis Siggery
THIS year has been a massive one in the step forward for the vinyl revival. The year has been full of some spectacular new releases starting of with albums from artists such as Ed Sheeran and Rag’n’Bone Man which has been followed up with a really strong end to the year, with the Gallagher brothers releasing their two albums which have been our top sellers this year.
Music fans are falling back in love with vinyl in a big way, in an article published by The Guardian earlier this week they state that ‘The BPI, the industry’s trade body, predicts UK sales of vinyl albums will exceed four milllion units – the highest since it began collecting data in the early 90s. Probably safe to say now that vinyl is back and means serious business.
As we creep closer and closer to Christmas the amount of new releases becomes fewer but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still some great albums being released!
This week sees the release of two fantastic soundtracks, one coming from the latest Game Of Thrones season and the other coming from the Hans Zimmer composed soundtrack for the latest Bladerunner 2049 film.
Also getting a vinyl release this week is the latest album from pop sensation Taylor Swift whose number 1 album Reputation is being pressed onto a picture disc.
There is another very special picture disc release this week and it comes as our release of the week, this special release is the perfect item for any Beatles fanatic as it sees the iconic Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club album artwork pressed onto a fancy picture disc.
BTD are pleased to announce that from the 11th of December we will be selling the new album from The Eric Street Band’s frontman Dennis Siggery.
Celebrating 20 years back in music Dennis Siggery had planned to put together two box sets of all his work plus new material but he coincidentally ended up creating a brand new album Sun Street.
The album was never planned and quite often when something isn’t planned it turns out to be a fine piece of work, and that is exactly the case with Dennis Siggery’s new release
The blues inspired artist has crafted an album different from his others which fuses together a great mix of blues and rock.
Sun Street is a very honest and humble album about the early years of Dennis’ life, the title is taken from the street where Dennis was born as well as his
Dad and the album as a whole is a truthful and personal story built on his memories of growing up in Newtown as a east end boy marrying a west end girl.
Talking about the album himself Dennis states that “If I was to write a biography about my life this would be it, It’s been six months in the making and I am pleased with it’s results!”
From start to finish the album draws you in and forces you to listen to his stories, the last track elegantly rounds off the album with a honest message to his family. Since its release it has gone straight in at number 3 on the Reverb Nation blues chart.
