Pre-order for "Soul Jazz Records presents / D-I-Y: DO-IT-YOURSELF – Punk, Post Punk, Punk Funk & Beyond: The Rise of the Independent Music Industry" by V/A

Out of print for 15 years, Soul Jazz Records’ “Do It Yourself” features a host of post-punk, punk, punk funk/dance and electronic experimentation from UK bands in the late 70s and 80s that all arrived in the aftermath of punk. As well as loads of great music, the album also charts the rise of the independent music industry in Britain that similarly thrived during this time. // Featuring classic groups such as The Buzzcocks, A Certain Ratio, The Fire Engines, Glaxo Babies and a host of lesser known, rare and obscure tracks and artists, this new 2024 edition comes as a limited edition special coloured version double vinyl pressing, complete with deluxe gatefold sleeve with two unique inner sleeves. This fully remastered album comes with extensive sleevenotes and photography as well as interviews with key behind-the-scene players – including studios, cutting rooms, print works – that together bring a fantastic insight into the DIY music and culture of this period and the explosion in the independent music industry after punk.

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: 11/1/24. Pre-order ends 10/27/24

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.
