La Roux Heavyweight Vinyl. This Heavyweight Vinyl is in stock. For more check out all the official La Roux merchandise & vinyl available for home delivery with Vinyl Records London, only £26 +P&P Proper Records, in collaboration with UMC, are delighted to make again available the debut album of synthpop pioneer La Roux. Originally released in very limited quantities on vinyl in 2009, the album, La Roux, contains the UK No. 1 single Bulletproof as well as Top 3 smash In For The Kill. La Roux was shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize and won Best ElectronicDance Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011. La Roux was a refreshing addition to the world of pop. Brixtonborn Elly Jackson was inspired more by the music of Nick Drake and Neil Young than synth pop, and when Ben Langmaid first heard her, she was playing her songs on an acoustic guitar. Together, they updated the template for the synth duo, Langmaid resolutely in the background, while Jackson became the face and mouthpiece for the group.Their debut single, Quicksand, was released on Kitsune Records in December 2008, and soon after Polydor signed them, and amid a flurry of press attention, In For The Kill came out in March 2009, rising to No. 2 in the UK. In June that year, Bulletproof topped the charts, paving theway for the album, which was received warmly in the UK and made huge inroads into the US charts. Jackson’ androgyny and the duo’ musical style evoked the 80s, yet this was no mere pastiche. The songs had heart and soul and were delivered with matchless panache. ‘People don’t just want RampB girls thrusting their groins at them,’ she told The Guardian. ‘It gave me hope. People bought the record even though it was fronted by this odd boylooking ginger girl.’ La Roux is presented with scrupulous attention to the detail of the original UK first pressing and available in audiophile 180gm vinyl. Whether replacing a muchloved original copy, or adding to a collection afresh, this is a superior way to enjoy such enduring and influential music.

Heavyweight Vinyl
Heavyweight vinyl is pressed on thicker, denser material—typically weighing 180 grams or more. This added weight offers improved durability, reduced warping, and is often believed to provide better sound quality due to more stable playback. Many audiophile releases, reissues, and deluxe editions are pressed on heavyweight vinyl, making it a popular choice among collectors and music enthusiasts who value both performance and longevity. While it doesn’t automatically guarantee superior audio, its solid, premium feel and association with high-quality production standards have made it a trusted format for serious vinyl fans.
Vinyl
Vinyl records are a timeless format that continues to captivate music lovers with their warm, analogue sound. Unlike digital formats, vinyl offers a rich, textured listening experience that many argue feels more authentic and immersive. With their larger artwork and tangible presence, records bring a sense of nostalgia and artistry to any music collection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of vinyl, records have a unique ability to connect listeners to music on a deeper level. Their physical grooves and the ritual of placing a needle on a spinning disc create a tactile and engaging experience. From classic albums to modern releases, vinyl remains a cherished way to enjoy music.
