KRS517 Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business ***PRE-ORDER***7” w/ digital download
http://www.buyolympia.com/krsnew/Item=KRS517
Delta 5 were part of the thriving Leeds post-punk scene in the late 1970s.
This 7” features the band’s debut single, “Mind Your Own Business”, first
released in 1979, backed with a remix by post-punk hero Peter Hook,
best known as the bass player for Joy Division and New Order, under the
name Man Ray. 2009 is the 30th year anniversary of this amazing song and we’re releasing this limited edition 7” to celebrate!
***This release is limited to 1000. We have less than 100 for Mail Order so order now!***

KRS415 Delta 5 - Singles & Sessions 1979-81 ***PRE-ORDER***CD
http://www.buyolympia.com/krsnew/Item=KRS415
Part of the Leeds/UK art/music scene in the late 70s that launched The Gang of Four and The Mekons, Delta 5 was signed to Rough Trade after only a few months in existence, and released their first single recording, “Mind Your Own Business/Now That You’ve Gone” in 1979.
No less an authority than legendary BBC host and producer John Peel received an advance copy of the single and played it twice that same night. He then requested that the band do a “Sessions” gig for him and the band was officially on its way.
Relentless gigging with The Gang of Four, Echo and the Bunnymen, B52s, Specials, Teardrop Explodes, and U2 put the band on the map worldwide. They continued touring and recording until various members departed in late 1981, when they recorded one last single and then broke up for good in 1982.
***Pre-order of the 30 year anniversary edition includes a free one of a kind button/badge!***
KRS510 Horse Feathers - Cascades ***PRE-ORDER***7” w/ digital download
http://www.buyolympia.com/killrockstars/Item=KRS510
Horse Feathers’ debut album on Kill Rock Stars, “House With No Home”,
garnered excellent press as expected, but also sold five times as much
as their previous release. The band’s constant touring to packed houses
has created a quiet groundswell of support which buoyed the band up to
its current position as one of KRS’s breakthrough bands of 2008. This 7”
is another delicious morsel to tide the fans over while the band finishes
recording its follow-up to “House With No Home”, due in April 2010.
These will ship tomorrow 10/20 so get your orders in today!
In addition to our October Sale, these records are just $7.99 this week
