MOJO announces vinyl covermount

By | Published on Tuesday 24 August 2010

MOJO has announced that the first 10,000 copies of its next issue, which is due to go on sale on 31 Aug, will come with a free twelve-inch vinyl compilation entitled ‘Let It Be Revisited’. The artists featured on the freebie, including Pete Molinari, Phosphorescent, The Jim Jones Revue, Beth Orton, Amorphous Androgynous, Besnard Lakes and Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson, have recorded their own versions of tracks from The Beatles’ 1970 (and final) album, ‘Let It Be’.

MOJO Editor In Chief Phil Alexander said of the special edition: “The MOJO Vinyl Edition is our way of celebrating the rebirth of vinyl which we’ve seen in recent years. Essentially, we created an incarnation of the magazine that we wanted to buy ourselves so it was something of a labour of love. In terms of the album itself, we hand-picked the acts and they all paid tribute to the enduring power of The Beatles by providing new perspectives on a set of classic tunes”.

John Grant – Two Of Us 
Dennis Locorriere – Dig A Pony
Phosphorescent – Across The Universe
