- Thread starter Noodles
- Start date
R.E.M. - In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988 - 2003
(Blue vinyl, 1000 copies)
First released in 2003, this greatest hits collection from alt-rock legends R.E.M. covers the 15 year period that the band were signed to Warner Bros., beginning with their 1988 album Green and culminating in their 2001 LP Reveal, with a couple of added extras thrown in for good measure in the form of 'The Great Beyond', written for the soundtrack of Andy Kaufman biopic Man in the Moon, and 'All The Right Friends', which the band wrote as a contribution to the soundtrack of Cameron Crowe's 2001 film Vanilla Sky.
In Time was reissued on vinyl in April this year, but a special limited edition version pressed onto blue vinyl will be joining our range of exclusive Vinyl Week titles in hmv stores on June 15th.

David Bowie / Various Artists - Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story
(Yellow vinyl, 500 copies)
Avid fans of David Bowie might not need telling just how much of an important role Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson played in Bowie's success, but for anyone unaware of Ronson's crucial role during the Ziggy Stardust years, Jon Brewer's new documentary on the subject is an excellent primer.
Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story arrived earlier this year and, as you might expect from a doc covering David Bowie's music, the soundtrack is superb. A special limited edition of the Beside Bowie soundtrack pressed onto yellow vinyl is one of this year's exclusive titles heading to hmv stores for Vinyl Week.

The album was helped in its trajectory by the album's huge single 'In da Club', which became an omnipresent on nightclub dancefloors everywhere for months on end. A very limited edition of the LP is seyt to land in stores along with the other Vinyl Week exclusives on Saturday June, with just 500 copies of the LP pressed onto transparent vinyl and scattered across our stores around the UK.

U2 – The Unforgettable Fire
(Red Wine vinyl, 1000 copies)
U2's fourth full-length offering was their first without Steve Lilywhite, who had produced all three of the band's previous albums, and their first collaboration with the production duo of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, with whom the band would go onto record two of their most successful albums, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. The Unforgettable Firefinds the band in transition, still growing into the trademark sound they would perfect on The Joshua Tree, but there are audible hints towards their trajectory, particularly on 'Pride (In the Name of Love)', their biggest hit at the time.
The band have recently unveiled limited edition reissues of both this and their 2004 LP How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, both pressed onto coloured vinyl and only available on the high street at hmv. The Unforgettable Fire is limited to 1000 copies and pressed onto red wine-coloured vinyl.

U2 – How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
(Red vinyl, 500 copies)
U2 went into the studio to record their 11th album with the intention of creating a much more hard-hitting rock sound than the one exhibited on their previous LP All That You Can't Leave Behind, something closer to the sound of the band's earlier years. To do this they appointed Steve Lilywhite as the album's lead producer, the first time they'd done so since the band's 1983 album War (although Lilywhite had made contributions to the Eno/Lanois produced albums of the 1990s). The result was a more hard-edged incarnation of U2 which produced two chart-topping singles in 'Vertigo' and 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own', marking the band's first pair of consecutive Number One hits.
The album is the second of two U2 LPs joining our list of Vinyl Week exclusives this year, with a limited edition version pressed onto red vinyl heading into your local hmv on June 15th.
