Our TOP 10 vinyl releases of 2015
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.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
