Good on Goldfrapp is all i have to say!They’ve have announced that they will release their new single on tape, (for all you ‘younger’ folk CDs ... sorry i mean downloads weren’t always they way to get music)
Goldfrapp new single ‘Alive’ is the second from their latest album ‘Head First’, which reached No.6 in the UK album chart last week.
The single will be released in a limited tape edition through independent stores in aid of ‘Record Store Day’ on 17th April.
‘Record Store Day’ marks one day where independently-owned record stores celebrate music, with many artists often releasing their music in old formats.
A little known fact for all you folk that don’t remember... cassette singles were introduced in 1978 and at their peak in 1995 22 million tapes were sold, but sales quickly declined, with just 715 purchased in 2007.
