None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive
The 7" that is included in the bundle is a limited pressing that contains the tracks: 1. CALL MY PHONE THINKING I'M DOING NOTHING BETTER 2. WHERE THE F&*K DID APRIL GO 2020 gives us this mixtape from The Streets. The return of the innovator, we cannot wait to see where Mike Skinner takes us with "a rap duets album" featuring collaborations with Idles, Tame Impala and Jesse James, among many others. Despite its humble mixtape beginnings, None Of Us AreGetting Out Of This Life Aliveis a precise and very human body of work from a modern UK music pioneer. Emotionally poignant, full of one liners, club ready. More than anything, it’s exciting –a call back to those fun and responsibility free evenings at TONGA. Yet “the result is much more than I thought it would be. It’s become a real album,” says Mike. And so, as the new decade begins, so too does a new era for The Streets...

The Streets
A Grand Don't Come For Free (vinyl)
Re-press of Mike Skinner's highly praised second album as The Streets, a massive and influential album in the UK hip-hop / garage scene with isightful and observational lyrics about the everyday life.
This was the album that saw Skinner compared to the likes of Ray Davies and Paul Weller in evoking the glorious mess of everyday life. A striking concept album set to an inventive sonic backdrop, the seemingly prosaic tale of a young man unlucky in love (and, so it seems, money) is brought brilliantly to life in a barrage of astute lyrics, lurid tales and memorable hooks. Deservedly awarded a 9.1 review from Pitchfork, the record sees Skinner reveal his most vulnerable self: Dry Your Eyes and Blinded By The Lights, in particular, manage to articulate painfully familiar feelings that appeal to music fans of every hue. This record marked Skinner’s creative peak, received international acclaim and, thanks to its distinctiveness, propelled its maker to the top of the musical tree.
