Tadeusz - The Mission fanzine

16/07/2024

YOUR FANZINE NEEDS YOU 🫵

Okay folks, hopefully caught your eye with an unseen WH shot (AurA session photo by Paul Morgan), but the serious business is that I’m looking for a writer for an article in relation to the 2001 AurA album for a future release of Tadesuz 10.
What l’m looking for is a start-to-finish review of the main album; a real fans-eye view of this powerful album, how the music absorbs you, how the lyrics move you, how the dynamics transport you! Can you remember how the opener Evangeline made you feel? (Like virgin ears hearing Serpent’s Kiss anew?)
Such a contrast to the Blue album after a 5 year hiatus and the welcome resurrection of the band, also with Craig back in the mix!
Anyone up for it?
I’ll gladly edit the whole piece, so don’t worry if you haven’t written before, the important thing is that the words are genuine, heartfelt and sincere…
Over to you for comments folks…

Happy New Year folks!
The ladies of the house are having a lie in so I (along with Sebastian, Myshka and Mookie) get to spin some obscure Japanese tunes on the turntable this morning! 😆
Here’s to a happy and healthy year one and all.
Let’s hope humanity keeps moving towards the wonderful (have you seen the photos from the James Webb module 😮) and ceases with the genocidal tendencies of the power hungry f**kers!

Needing ideas for some Mission related Christmas gifts? 🤔
Now’s a good time for ordering ahead of the final postal rush! Pictured below (left to right) is the biography “The Garden of Delights” by Jérémi Sauvage (translated from French to English), then the updated “At War With The Gods“ by Alex Daniele, finished off with the limited ‘Black’ hardback edition of “The Garden Of Delights”.
All of these (and many more goodies) are available from our UK based independent press: https://dakotamusicmedia.square.site
We ship worldwide, but for non-UK you may want to catch us via eBay as we use the Global Shipping Program which often reduces charges from over-zealous customs in thepost-Brexit wasteland we live in.

We are delighted to announce that the reprint of THE MISSION - AT WAR WITH THE GODS now available for pre-order direct from publisher Dakota Music Media.

…likely some of you will be up for this little gem!!!!

It is true, Rose fans, good things do eventually come to those that wait.

We are beyond excited to announce the pre-sale for the long awaited "At The BBC" vinyl is now available.

This really is a thing of beauty. Heavyweight 180g PURPLE coloured vinyl, beautiful glossy gatefold sleeve with original artwork by Phil Pike a.k.a Pip Pop Art, a previously unpublished 1985 photograph of the band adorning the inner gatefold by Gavin Watson, and full lyrics on the inner. Believe us, even if you don't own a turntable you'll want one to hold and treasure!

Now that the vinyl pressing plants are getting back to normal, we need to secure 50 pre-orders to place the order. To help convince you to click that link, the first 50 orders will get a free limited edition art print and a lovely retro 80s style badge set with three designs. All for just £26. Now, if that was not enough, the names of the first 50 people that pre-order will be put into Glenn's hat and the winner picked at random will get an ultra-rare test pressing of the album.
