Echoes: Vinyl LP

In 2003, Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork said, 'The revelation that you didn’t need formal training to start a band in 1977 and the realization that you don’t need to be Merce Cunningham to dance are one and the same.' This 47 - minute vinyl LP with two sides and a single - spine jacket is pure lightning in a bottle. The Rapture's Echoes was a powerful statement then and remains so now. It's an energetic punch from a band at their peak, produced by the DFA in their studio full of ideas. In 2023, the 'indie crowd learning to dance' story might seem overdone, but this album from a San Diego punk band that moved to New York via Seattle still has the power to break down barriers. It's been out of print on vinyl since its first run, but now it's back, recut by Bob Weston for a loud and clear sound. Track list includes Olio, Heaven, Open Up Your Heart, and more.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and drop the needle gently on the start of the track. Make sure your turntable is clean and properly calibrated for the best sound. When not in use, store the vinyl in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid touching the playing surface of the vinyl with your fingers to prevent scratches. If the vinyl gets dirty, use a proper vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris. Enjoy the timeless music of The Rapture's Echoes.
