2015 saw an increased number of vinyl releases hitting the shop shelves, and although it’s still far from safe to announce a vinyl comeback, sure thing is that this analogue format still has a high number of fans, if not for the sound, surely for the physical beauty of the product. So, after 15 years, Side-Line finally comes back with a TOP 10 of the best vinyl releases, this time of 2015.
Included in this TOP 10 list are not only brand new releases but also reissues which we enjoyed quite a bit.
1. Front Line Assembly – “Hard Wired (20th Anniversary)” 6LP
This 20th anniversary release of “Hard Wired” offers a fully authorized 6LP edition of “Hard Wired” on vinyl. The boxset itself contains the following: “Hard Wired” on 2LP double-gatefold vinyl, “Live Wired” on 3LP triple-gatefold vinyl, “Circuitry” on 1LP vinyl. All the material was remastered from the original tapes and supervised by Greg Reely and Bill Leeb.
Here’s a preview of the release, which you can still order right here.
Since you’re here … … we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive. If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 2 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you. The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
