WOW... That's What I Call Fu*king Memories (LP MD Variation) 

I have really gone for it of late, conceiving and delivering innovative and engaging new formats to showcase my work that transforms the artwork and nostalgia that radiates from it. ‘Retrospective 4’ sees the release of my playing card edition which looks superb, but I had to ensure that the collection retained the WOW factor, so that’s what I’ve done! My ‘Retrospective’ body of work is all about looking back to look forward, pausing to rewind and play, as a break from a life set to fast forward. It has always been striving to inject those details and references that create so much happiness from that point where you remember a moment or detail that was so special but was pushed right to the far corner of your memory bank. It’s always been about memories; the best will always remain and burn brightest. So, combining all of what I’ve just waffled on about, I am so bloody excited to unveil my debut into the music industry, well sort of!

My debut album is out now, available on both cassette and vinyl LP, albeit in art form only for both legal and your sanity, mainly legal though! Taking inspiration from the music compilation albums that were a firm favourite at Christmas time, both from Santa and a ‘go to’ choice at vol-au-vent fuelled family gatherings, ‘Retrospective 4’ sees the launch of the first instalment of ‘WOW That’s What I F*cking Call Memories!’ Clever eh! You see what I did there?

There is so much potential here and the end results for both the canvases and the editions are so authentic, fun and engaging, they need to be seen to be truly enjoyed! The cassette format features a retro style cassette case with my artwork printed and hand detailed to look aged and well used, complete with a crumpled sticker offering a little guidance. Beneath this is a quirky cassette that is unravelling before your eyes, showing that the request has been well and truly ignored. I’m sure I’m not alone in being guilty of ruining many a tape when trying to record the Top 40 on a Sunday or typically when borrowing a friend’s cherished album. I hope you love this, the attention to detail is off the charts!
