Magazine + Vinyl Bundle
We've borrowed the dramatic image on the cover of this month's Electronic Sound from the new Simple Minds album and we're issuing a terrific magenta vinyl seven-inch by the acclaimed Scottish group – with their 1980 classic 'I Travel' on the A-side – to accompany the magazine. We think it's probably their best album since the 1980s, so we're delighted to talk to founding members Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill for our cover story.
Other main articles this issue include the madcap tale of Joe Meek’s “tea chest tapes” – around 2,000 individual 10-inch reels – a small number of which have finally come to light after being hidden away for many decades. Elsewhere in the magazine, we also have interviews with Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Lucrecia Dalt, Halina Rice and The Umlauts, while the one and only Carl Cox reveals all in our regular Under The Influence feature.
