What the label says:

NOW THE VINYL RELEASE DATE IS CONFIRMED!! 31ST MARCH!! CD IS STILL 10TH MARCH....AND THE COVER ART IS BY THE ESTEEMED GARY PANTER...DIRTBOMBS FOURTH FULL-LENGTH IS JAM-PACKED WITH MORE OF THEIR SOULFUL, DETROIT-STYLE, FUZZTONE-FUELED GARAGE-PUNKPOP- ROCK N ROLL THAT HAS MADE THEM A POPULAR FAVORITE WITH CLUB-GOERS AROUND THE GLOBE. MICK COLLINS AND HIS MERRY BAND OF MISCREANTS TWELVE SLICES OF SONIC THUD KICK THE PARTY INTO HIGH GEAR AND SHOW OFF A VAST ARRAY OF UNEXPECTED INFLUENCES. IN FACT, THE OPENING TRACK HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY COLLINS AS HIS TRIBUTE TO MARK E. SMITH AND THE FALL. THE DIRTBOMBS ARE AS KNOWN FOR THEIR TASTEFUL SELECTION OF COVER TUNES AS MUCH THEIR STUNNING ORIGINALS, AND THIS RECORD CARRIES ON THE TRADITION WITH FANTASTIC TAKES ON SONGS BY COMIC ARTIST ALAN MOORE, PORTLAND, OREGON STALWARTS DEAD MOON, AND LABELMATES SPARKS. THAT SAID, THE ORIGINALS HERE ARE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT. FROM THE STOOGE-OID EVER LOVIN MAN TO THE FINGER-POPPIN INDIVISIBLE TO THE EXTENDO FREE-FORM PSYCH JAM OF RACE TO THE BOTTOM TO THE EURO-POP OF LA FIN DU MONDE, THE DIRTBOMBS PROVE ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE A ROCK N ROLL FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH WHO WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM OUTLIVING THE NME-SPONSORED HYPE OF THEIR HOMETOWN WAY AFTER TEN MORE TRENDS AND HAIRCUTS HAVE BEEN BUILT UP AND TORN DOWN. THE DIRTBOMBS ARE BACK!!!! HALLELUJAH!

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
