Picture Disc Vinyl Records LP Vinyl David Bowie 7th March 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of David Bowie039s ninth studio album, Young Americans.On the exact day of its Golden Jubilee, Young Americans will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary halfspeed mastered LP and a picture disc LP with a poster pressed from the same master.The album saw Bowie broaden his musical horizons once more, embracing what he called 039Plastic Soul039 and would give Bowie his first number one single in the U.S., Fame, cowritten with John Lennon and Bowie039s then guitarist, Carlos Alomar.This new pressing of Young Americans was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original Record Plant master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The halfspeed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.

Official Picture Disc

Picture Disc vinyl places artwork directly at the centre of the record, blending music and visual design into a single piece. Often released as special or limited editions, these records feature band imagery, album artwork, or custom designs pressed straight into the disc itself. While they’re fully playable, picture discs are just as much about presentation as sound. They’re ideal for fans who value the visual identity of a band, making them a standout addition to a collection and something that looks just as good on display as it does on the turntable.

Official Vinyl Records

Vinyl Records are at the heart of what we do, from brand new releases to classic pressings that never lose their pull. You’ll find albums across rock, indie, electronic, punk, metal, hip-hop and beyond, alongside reissues, limited editions and coloured vinyl where available. Whether you’re crate-digging for something familiar or discovering a record for the first time, everything here is chosen for people who actually listen, not just collect. Alongside vinyl, our store brings together official band merchandise and music culture essentials in one place. That means band t-shirts, hoodies, posters, accessories and select collectibles, all sitting naturally alongside the records they belong with. It’s a space built for music fans — the kind who care about artwork, sound, and the stories behind it — whether you’re buying your next favourite record or something to wear, hang, or keep that connects you to the music you love.
