Pre-order for “Twelves” by Loop

First time vinyl pressing of these remastered LOOP 12”/EP tracks. Originally released in the '80s / 1990, on the Chapter 22 / Head / Situation 2 labels: 16 Dreams 12” (Head) released 1986 Spinning 7” /12” (Head) released 1987 Collision 7”/12” (Chapter 22) released 1988 Black Sun 12” (Chapter 22) released 1988 Arc-Lite 7”/12”/CD5 (Situation 2) released 1989 Primsma Uber Europa 12” (Beggars) released 1991 (Live Promo only) Remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Metcalf and then reissued for the first time in 2009 as part of the World In Your Eyes 3CD set on Reactor. Now remastered for vinyl and re-cut to lacquers by Shawn Joseph / Optimum Mastering and issued as Twelves. (ref: the 3 x 7” set Sevens released 2020) Each side of this 3LP set has one of the 12”s in full, as well as the promo only Live 12-inch Prisma Uber Europa. The 12-inch cover of each LP has the relevant sleeve on each side to recreate the original sleeve image, and each 12-inch side has labels as close to the original designs as possible. Hear Loop expand their sound from the Stooges / Velvets / garage pyschout of 16 Dreams, into the Spinning era and then develop their motorik fuzzed-out nihilistic pummel through the Collision and Black Sun EPs to finish this set with the Arc-Lite side, possibly Loop at their most visceral. Unable to be pigeon holed like most bands of this time, their live shows also wiped the floor with everyone as evidenced on the Prisma Uber Europa 12”. Not reissued on vinyl when first remastered, now its time. PLAY LOUD

PRE-ORDER DISCLAIMER: Release dates are tentative and often get pushed back or cancelled by the labels. We try 100% to get you what you order, but there are times when we aren’t allotted enough of the item to fill all of the orders (and usually we won’t know this until the week of the release). In this case we will contact you as soon as we are aware that the order can’t be fulfilled. Special limited/indie exclusive releases can be ordered in multiples, but we can’t guarantee that we will be able to fill more than one copy of each said release.

Pre-orders are essentially “special orders”. This means if you place a pre-order, we are ordering it specially for you (many items we have up for pre-order are not items we carry in our store, and those that we do, we are ordering EXTRA copies to fill your pre-orders). Because of this, we cannot do cancellations or refunds after the pre-ordering time period has ended.
