STEREOLAB: SPIRAL SCRATCHES
Welcome to Spiral Scratches, a small site dedicated to the wonderful world of Stereolab's vinyl releases.
This is, I hope, a full Stereolab vinyl discography. Apart for cataloguing every release, I've also included a number of white label pressings, autographed records, mispressings and oddities from my own collection for interest. If there's anything missing or needs correcting please contact me at... pooh@titanicfandalism.co.uk.
With regard to the LPs, rather than collecting every version of each album, I have just included either the rarest, most interesting or the first/original pressing in each case. The exception to this is where the album was released in several different coloured vinyls i.e. Refried Ectoplasm (clear and orange) or all three versions of Not Music (clear/green/blue) etc.
On each format page if you click any of the record covers you will get larger scans and images of the sleeves, vinyl, labels etc. If there is no link then it's either not one I'm going to add or haven't been able get hold yet - most things are here though.
I couldn't have put these pages together without the existence of Stereolab's own official site and the fantastic Ultra-High Frequency fansite, both for mapping out the full catalogue of recordings which has been invaluable in providing information about each release. Thank you very much to both sites for such accurate and comprehensive information and I hope that you are both OK with what I've attempted here. Thanks also to Martin Pike at Stereolab's HQ for much appreciated help/advice, Pat from France for the Stunning Debut Album multicoloured 7" scan, nsc283b for the photos of the Jenny Ondioline clear vinyl 10" and the Eaten Horizons...LP, Basil for information, Graeme Smith for the Shimmies in Super 8 numbers 1 & 3, Spectrum/Stereolab split 7" and Jenny Ondioline mispressed 10" scans and information, kafkaislove from the Stereolab forum for the Polish Postcard flexi images, Bruce at IPR, Jeff W for the Wow & Flutter sleeve images - and the other good folk on the forum for additional information about some of the releases. I hope that the site is of interest to fans of the band and/or anyone who just loves vinyl. Both Stereolab, and vinyl, are very splendid things indeed. ENTER
