So, about a year after Flying Vinyl said that it was stopping the five singles a month drop, there was an announcement that it was to return. Good news as far as I was concerned. There was a difference however. Instead of being a series of vinyl singles, they would now be pressed on an LP. Purchasers would receive ten songs, with five artists so essentially the same as what went before. So far so good and I duly signed up.
The first LP dropped through my letter box in early September of 2022. Each came on rather fetching and in some cases, interesting coloured vinyl with a booklet giving some information about the artists on the record. For the next five months, a new record arrived until January 2023. That was when the sixth and what would turn out to be the last LP. A little information sheet was contained within detailed the reasons why this was the last one and essentially, it was essentially the same as when the single series finished. Supply chain issues.
It is a shame when any series you’ve enjoyed comes to end but rarely do does this happen twice, especially in such short a period of time. I thought that for this sampler, I would only have a single LP and an EP for this last (it would seem) ever Flying Vinyl sampler, just to do something a bit different this time around.
