Pete Paphides launches re-issues label, bringing Ian Broudie and Stephen Duffy albums to vinyl for the first time
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 20 March 2019
Music journalist Pete Paphides has announced the launch of a new record label, Needle Mythology. The aim of the company is to put out re-issues of old records on vinyl, focusing on albums which have not previously been made available in that format.
The first two albums to be put out by the new company are Ian Broudie’s sole solo album, ‘Tales Told’, and Stephen Duffy’s ‘I Love My Friends’. In the case of the latter, it will be restored to the version originally planned by Duffy – the version released by Cooking Vinyl in 1998 having had its tracklist re-ordered, two tracks removed and two new tracks added. Both albums will feature new artwork and have been remastered.
Speaking to Super Deluxe Edition, Paphides says: “I wanted to buy these records and they didn’t exist in the form that I wanted to own these records. Literally, all I could do was dream about owning them, because they didn’t exist in real life. I think any record collector has probably had that same fantasy. So, that was the long and short of it really. I couldn’t sit around waiting for someone else to do it any longer”.
The two albums will be released on 10 May, with CD versions also available.
