The Lead’s Past Behind EP (REX version) vinyl plus download

Here it is, as promised.

If you followed we the Lead back in the day (this being any day from 1987 to 1990 or so), you’ve probably got this on cassette. It’s the first thing REX put out with our name and it came out back when we played Cornerstone 88. But not many people got their hands on the vinyl pressing of the EP. So imagine my surprise when Nina found a few of them in her vaults. So, she and Rob and I put our signatures on them. Then I set about ripping, de-clicking, and amateur-remastering mp3s off  one of the the platters (using this, in case you’re wondering) and scanning the artwork to create an expanded digital booklet PDF. Now it’s ready to make the trip to from we to you, physically and digitally. Click here.

Vintage Vinyl Autographed by the Lead

Tomorrow is Record Store Day, so I’m starting my own record store back up.

If you have some cash left over after you visit your friendly local platter place, here are some items for your consideration.

Just saw Nina and Rob a few days ago, and in the process managed to finish getting their signatures on a few (very few) pieces of old Lead vinyl they’d been squirreling away lo all these decades, and now we’re putting them up here for you collectors that missed them 20-plus years ago. We’re including downloads of each album’s songs and artwork as part of the purchase.

I’ve already put up Automoloch and the 3=1 Past Behind. The ultra-rare vinyl pressing of the REX Past Behind is on the way.
