Burning Hell / Double Trouble

by M&J Blues

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Limited run 7" Lathe cut vinyl of Burning Hell and Double Trouble with hand printed linocut artwork.

    These tracks were taken from a recording session we did in 2020 for an upcoming album and concert which features Sheffield artists playing songs by other more famous artists. Sadly due to Coronavirus, the album and gig are both put on hold until things return to a bit more normaility.

    While recording, we had a bit of time left over so we recorded our versions of John Lee Hooker's 'Burning Hell' and Otis Rush' 'Double Trouble'- these 2 songs are not usually played in our setlist. in fact we have never played Burning Hell live before, and i think Double Trouble has only been played a couple of times.

    Both tracks were recorded at the Gardeners Rest 'function room'. the Gardeners is one of our favourite places to play, and was the first to offer us a regular gig when we first started.
    We recorded with our good friend Joe Armitage (aka Buffalo Ghost) on production duties. everything was recorded 'Live' with no overdubs, no fixes and a minimal production that sounds like 'us'.

    We both wanted to record something on vinyl for a long time and found a great company called Lathe to the Grave who specialise in short runs of Lathe cut vinyl.
    Everything is hand cut, in real time and Tasha at Lathe to the Grave is the U.K's only female cutter. We read their blog, liked what we saw, and like their work ethic too. We ordered a couple of test cuts sent over and liked what we heard!


    To make this release extra special, we have decided to limit the run to only 45 (45 45's!)
    the artwork will all be done by myself (Mark). each sleeve will be hand printed with linocut artwork and all the track details hand written on the back. each 7" will have an inner protective sleeve as well as the card sleeve.

    The vinyl will be put out on Harry Welburn's Steel and Wire record label. We thank him for this as one of the main stumbling blocks in putting out a vinyl release is the cost.
    Harry has been influential in helping fund this project, and we are pretty much putting these out at cost price with p&p to make them more affordable to fans.

    If you folk do want to pay a little bit more, then all profits will go towards the S6 food bank. harry regularly helps the band out and has fundraisers throughout the year (check out Harry's Steel and wire radio show on Sheffield live). All money raise from downloads will go towards the foodbank too.


    A big thanks to Joe Armitage, Harry Welburn & Brian Clark at Steel And Wire and all at the Gardeners Rest for all their help with the project.

about

Please note this is for the download only, not for the 7" vinyl (see Merch to order the vinyl).
All money will go to the S6 foodbank. We've kept the download price low so feel free to pay more if you want as any extra will help the foodbank.
