Seasick Steve releases his brand new album in one format only - vinyl! Only On Vinyl is released on standard black vinyl and Limited Edition coloured blue vinyl. The album cover tells you exactly what to expect. No digital. (So no streaming on Spotify or iTunes or phones). No CDs. No nothing. Only good old fashioned vinyl.
Only on Vinyl is dedicated to lovers of vinyl everywhere and was recorded ‘old skool’ by Steve and long time drummer Dan Magnusson. The recording sessions were in Steve’s barn, recording onto a 16 track 2“ tape machine (3M M79). The album was mixed to 1/2” tape by award-winning recording engineer/mixer Vance Powell. Completing the analog process, this is a true analog tape to vinyl transfer, with the lacquers being cut on a Neumann VMS82 lathe called ‘Destiny’, by Lewis Hopkin at Star Delta Mastering. No computers were used (or harmed) in the making of this record.
Only on Vinyl finds Seasick Steve on top form pulling riffs, grooves and melodies out of thin air to deliver new classic Seasick Steve tracks such as ‘Put That In Your Pipe’. ‘How Do You Do’ and ‘Train Wreck’. Fans are sure to love the sequel to a firm fan favourite in the brand new ‘Down On The Farm 2’, along with a down and dirty new recording of Hobo Low (which was originally released on ‘Dog House Music’ in 2006). ‘Crash and Burn’ is sure to become a huge live favourite with fans old and new, as Steve delivers one of his greatest sing along choruses on record
