"What you think / What you feel / What you know / To be real..." 🎵
Released in the autumn of 1996, the Cheryl Lynn-sampling dance track ’To Be Real’ became an underground classic, originating in the clubs of Sheffield where Lady Cop AKA DJ Parrot hails from. DJ Parrot’s work may be familiar to you from his Crooked Man guise, his collaborations with Róisín Murphy or his work as part of The All Seeing I. The track has recently been sampled by Toddla T & Aitch in their current hit ‘Hide N Seek.’

“And the pain's overrated, composed… but I don't know do you?” 💚
Overrated was the highly-anticipated debut single from Siobhan Donaghy, released in the summer of 2003 to positive reactions from the critics, adding a rock flavour to the signature sound developed with Cameron McVey and Paul Simm during the Sugababes 'One Touch' sessions. Preceding the release of ‘Revolution in Me’, the single peaked in the Official UK Charts Top 20 with additional appearances in the Australian, Irish and Dutch charts.
Revolution in Me 20 💚 Siobhan Donaghy
Available for the first time on limited edition green vinyl, expanded CD edition and digital, featuring the critically-acclaimed full length album, b-sides and previously unreleased material.
“This album was made when I was 19 years old, during a time of high emotion in my life. With a fire in my belly and a chip on my shoulder, I set about trying to make sense of my place in the world. Written with my long time collaborator and mentor Cameron McVey who continues to this day to teach me so much.
I’m grateful I got to have creative license to make a deeply weird record and that it gets a new lease of life on vinyl for the first time.”
Vinyl & bundle orders come with a limited edition print signed by Siobhan, while stocks last. Better yet, to celebrate the release, previously unreleased track Pop Illusion is available now on all platforms along with the music video for Overrated on the London Records YouTube channel.

'We Call It Acieed' is known today as a classic and key part of the UK dance music legacy.

'24 Hour Party People' hit the UK charts 36 years ago this week (Anyone feeling old?)
