Dirter

In 1982 The New Blockaders self-released their debut LP Changez Les Blockeurs, an edition of only 100. Steven Stapleton was the very first person to purchase / hear the album and subsequently distributed copies via United Dairies.

The LP has since attained a somewhat mythical / legendary status (Record Collector magazine included it in a list of the rarest, most collectable records ever) and 2017 was the 35th anniversary of its original release.

In celebration of this, TNB invited Steven Stapleton to rework the original which is now available in all its glory as NWW Play Changez Les Blockeurs.

The LP cover features brand new artworks by Steven (a.k.a Babs Santini) and comes with an insert including a TNB / NWW article by Paul Hegarty (author of the much-acclaimed Noise/Music book.)

The cover is printed on heavy 550mcn matt laminated board, and the insert on 250 gsm art board. It is a seriously beautiful package.

This LP is limited to just 300 copies, as requested by the artists

Dead Memory 12” LP by Steven Stapleton and David Tibet features two further out-takes from musical pumpkin cottage.

Neither of these two tracks feature on the Threats Of Memories 2LP or the Threat Of Memory 5CD box-set. The LP was mastered by Andrew Liles.

The Threat Of Memory 5CD box-set, on United Dirter, by Steven Stapleton and David Tibet features all of Steven’s and David’s previously-issued recordings, made under their “Steven Stapleton & David Tibet” faces, on the first four of the CDs, as well as a fifth CD with previously unissued out-takes from the Musical Pumpkin Cottage recording sessions.

It does not include the unissued out-take on Side 4 of THE THREATS OF MEMORIES 2LP. It comes in a hinged box, with new artwork by Babs Santini on the CD’s individual sleeves as well as on the box’s cover with a booklet containing all credits and lyrics, and with HandWriting by David Tibet.

The CDs were mastered by Andrew Liles, and the cover was designed by Ania Goszczyńska.
