Posted by Kenn on 1 September 2008

NEW DURTRO RECORDS SHOP LAUNCHED TODAY!

We are very excited to announce that our brand new store is now open.

In association with state 51/Greedbag we present Current 93 available as downloads from the store. Please see the list of these new releases below. Over the coming weeks and months we will be releasing more titles, many of which have been out of circulation for a very long time.

Furthermore, for a limited period we are offering free downloads of the purchased item with every CD or vinyl record purchased; this means you can listen to them as soon as you buy them, before the item arrives by post.

NEW DIGITAL DOWNLOAD RELEASES FOR 1st SEPTEMBER 2008

Tamlin

2 track mini-LP consisting of C93′s cover of the traditional shape-shifting folk song ‘Tamlin’, and their inverted paean to Lucifer, ‘How the Great Satanic Glory Faded’. Featuring Michael Cashmore, Nick Saloman, Steven Stapleton, David Tibet and the Eternal Troubadour, Tiny Tim. Released 1994.

In Menstrual Night

Hallucinatory Menstrual Ragtime Concept album, based on the Menstrual Night where dreams go to when they die. Originally released as a picture disc on United Dairies, and the first in a series of almost 3000 albums made by C93 on the subject of menstruation. Released 1985.

VauVauVau (Black Ship Time)

Highly limited 3″ CD single released in Timothy Renner’s ‘The Folklore of the Moon’ series on his Hand/Eye label, before the release of BLACK SHIPS ATE THE SKY. The CD was attributed to a group called Black Ships, and claimed to be an album called BLACK SHIP TIME with one track on it, ‘VauVauVau’, which was a different mix to the tracks ‘Vau Vau Vau (Black Ships in Their Harbours)’. Released 2006. I think!

Dogs Blood Order

Early live recordings from Dogs Blood Order as they became Current 93, sometime in London in the early ’80s, when we all lived in squats. Released in 1997.

The Apocalyptic Folk in the Nodding God Unveiled

CD EP that was given away with the C93 comic ‘The Nodding God Unveiled’, soon to be made into an action picture by Marvel Comics/Warner Brothers. Released 1993.

All Dolled Up Like Christ

2CD set, consisting of both of the entirety of C93′s 1996 NYC shows — the first time they ever played the USA. Long out of print, and with a title taken from a line in a song by Antony and the Johnsons. Released in 1999.

Emblems: The Menstrual Years

The first 2CD compilation of early, mid-period and late-ish material by C93. Long out of print. Its follow-up, CALLING FOR VANISHED FACES, will follow soon as a digital download. Released 1993.
