2023 REPRESS OF LONG OUT OF STOCK CLASSIC – 500 ONLY

Repressed and back in stock - black vinyl.

Long out of stock, much sought after "outer space music fantasy by Joe Meek".

A classic of incredibly strange music, electronica, pre Beatles Britpop, or all of the above... however you slice it, I Hear A New World was and is the masterpiece of that left field master of sound, Joe Meek...recorded as usual partly at home with secret equipment, and partly at the state of the art Lansdowne studio he pretty much designed, it is a full on spectacular action stereo extravaganza, almost unknown in British pop recordings of the time and for many years later....here beautifully remastered, and restored to it's original track sequence as planned and advertised by Meek when he marketed it as an ideal stereo test recording for hi toned hifi shops....only an ep of less than half the assembled work was originally released....now here it is, on VINYL as it was meant to be heard....

The story of Joe Meek, the master of RGM sound, is well known to all devotees of music… the innovation, the hits, the eventual sad ending…this album, with its early super stereo electronic sounds, which comes from the hopeful early days of his career has become a legend..In its September 1998 issue, music magazine The Wire listed the album in the article ''100 Records That Set The World On Fire (When No One Was Listening!)'', exploring both Meek's and the album's profound though almost secret influence on many modern music makers…this first real vinyl edition of the complete album in its original track order, is a must for all lovers of the unusual in music…
