We’re back at Glossop Labour Club on Thursday 11 November from 8-11pm, to look back on some of our collective musical highlights of 2020 and 2021. Some of us have accumulated a lot of new records over the last couple of years, but have had little to opportunity to share them. And record club is all about sharing!
Simon, Phil, Jarrod and Tom will be picking out some of their new vinyl highlights of the last two years, but don’t let us dominate the deck! Feel free to bring along your own fave new releases for spin. Don’t be shy.
Doors open at 8pm and the main event kicks off at 8.30pm. See you there.
(And just to be clear – 2020 and 2021 new releases only, on vinyl. No reissues or compilations of old stuff. Let’s keep it fresh!)

Glossop Record Club is back, back, BACK!
Join us at Glossop Labour Club on Thursday 9th September for our first in-person record club of 2021. To ease us back in gently, we’ll be listening to Sparks’ 1979 album No.1 In Heaven in full. At a trim 33 minutes, it’ll also allow plenty of time for us to catch up throughout the evening as well.
Recorded in Germany and produced by Giorgio Moroder, this is Sparks in full-on synth-pop mode and an album that would prove hugely influential in the years that followed.
Doors open at 8pm and we’ll start the music at 8.30, so don’t be late! See you there.

April’s Album of the Month: Radiohead – OK Computer
Thursday 8th April, 8-10pm
STAY AT HOME – LISTEN ONLINE
Hello record clubbers, hope you’re all keeping well.
For our fourth ‘album of the month’ virtual session, Tom Lyon has chosen Radiohead’s OK Computer for us to listen to in full. Released in 1997, it was the band’s third album and quickly became a fixture of “greatest albums ever” lists where it has remained since. A departure from the ‘British Grunge’ of their earlier work (or that’s what their record company tried to position them as!), it has a more expansive sound with influences ranging from Miles Davis (specifically Bitches Brew), Krautrock legends Can to the soundtrack work of Ennio Morricone.
To help set the scene, check out the playlist which includes a track each from Radiohead’s albums to date (excepting our featured album), solo tracks and collaborations, songs that influenced the band, a smattering of covers (including a handful from the Easy All Star’s dub and reggae take on the OK Computer album) and the Talking Heads track that gave the band their name.
