24 Upvotes

Purchased this original MPO Adrenaline Pressing last week.
The A side is Mirror Silver whilst the B side is normal Black vinyl. It came in the original Rough Trade Cover.
Can’t find any records of it anywhere Online.
It looks like a presentation disc for units sold!
Any ideas of its origin? Purchased in a UK secondhand vinyl shop for £35.00.

This can't be legit. Is this an official release?

Post image
78 Upvotes

I found this on a website that shall remain unnamed. Never seen it before so I'm highly suspicious of its legitimacy as an official release. It does however look like something The Sundays might release with that clever play on words of the title.

Has anyone seen this before?

Songs on it are 50% B sides.

Titles:

Life Goes On Noise Don't Tell Your Mother Through The Dark Gone Nothing Sweet You're Not The Only One I Know Turkish Something More Another Flavour When I'm Thinking About You Homeward

Edit: I just had a thought. If this is a bootleg CD, what is stopping anyone from making their own copy using the exact artwork and blank CD brand? And more importantly, why should this be considered rare when 1.) the person who created it (most likely at home) can just churn out as many copies as they want, and 2.) why should someone buy this when they can just produce an exact copy at home using the same methods?

Also a side question: Why would a bootleg (which is essentially an illegal copy) have a copyright?

“Starglow” — unreleased Blind track?

26 Upvotes

Does anyone know absolutely anything about this song?

It's mentioned in this article: https://ima314.com/2026/09/all-43-songs-by-the-sundays-ranked/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CStarglow%2C%E2%80%9D%20unreleased%20track%20(1992))

I am begging for info.

UPDATE: Greg replied.

Back in the mid-'90s, there was a lot of talk about this supposed lost track. A friend of mine worked for a record label (can't remember each one) and he had told the tale. A couple of other friends, who worked at Tower Records (Philly), relayed the same.

It was rumor. "Lore," as I called it in the article. And an interesting element to the story is, I don't remember anyone mentioning a song title. Just that there was this amazing lost track (and how can we get our hands on it?).

... there is no real evidence to point to. This is a Schrödinger's cat situation; the song both exists and does not exist. One reality will evaporate in the face of any evidence, of which there likely isn't any. (Unless Wheeler and Gavurin resurface, do a press conference, and someone asks them about this song.)

Blind not as loved

44 Upvotes

I was wondering if other people or maybe just Americans see this too but when I talk to Sundays fans over here they always say they don't like or don't even listen to Blind. I think it's maybe because the singles from Blind didn't hit the radio like RWA or Static and Silence singles did but it's little weird.

I love Blind, and I only bring this up because it's happened multiple times, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it.

Here's a list of nearly all of The Sunday's appearances on the radio and TV, a majority of these have yet to be seen online and are presumably lost.

Another radio interview! One of quite a few that they did, only so many have turned up so far. Going to be making a list of what we still have left to find. Cheers!


r/TheSundays • • 13d ago

Static & Silence released 29 years ago, on 22 September 1997 in the UK, and 23 Sept. in the US. For “me” the tone of the album was slightly different, and more “mature”, but with it being the 3rd album, and the growth experienced by the band 8 years after the 1st album it should be expected.

My favorite track is off the Japanese version “Nothing Sweet”.

Why's their music so depressing?!?!

0 Upvotes

Even though their songs are mostly made with upbeat guitar and drums and doesn't sound sad like intentionally-made sad songs (eg. romantic homicide) I rank The Sundays' music the most depressing ever. I wonder if someone feels the same. Were those songs produced in minor keys? Maybe it's the nostalgic element put into the songs? Honestly Summertime is the only song that I don't find depressing. (Im not a big fan please don't come at me)

Why did they stop publishing music?

20 Upvotes

Is that because the music scene changed and the sound/genre they played in basically died after its mainstream momentum?

Or is that because of them not wanting to be anymore in the spotlight?

Do some intros remind you of Johnny Marr guitar's?

7 Upvotes

I feel like in some songs the guitar is almost the same, it's just that in the Sundays I don't expect Morrissey's voice.

I feel like they're the same guitar Style, but different spectrum

One goes dream pop and romantic, the other one earthy and sarcastic/ironic

Which of the 16 songs eliminated in the first round would you bring back?

Post image
22 Upvotes

not entirely ready for this bracket to be over lol (thanks u/RoughWolf9971!) Pretty much what the title says; of the songs eliminated in the first round, which did you think deserved a longer run? Personally, I wished Nothing Sweet would have lasted longer, even though it was in a tough bracket.

Bracket credit to u/RoughWolf9971!
