Brand New From Reputable UK Company With 30 Years Experience In Retail, Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.
All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.
Please note that all our DVDs are Region 2.


We take every step to ensure your vinyl purchase is delivered to you in the same pristine condition as when it leaves our packing area. We have selected very robust 12 inch mailers in order to protect your valuable vinyl throughout its journey to your doorstep. Even when handled incorrectly, your item should still arrive in tip-top condition.


First time on vinyl. Undeservedly overlooked, Apart holds a distinctive place within the vital discography of The Apartments. First released by the Australian label Hot Records in 1997, and heralding a lengthy hiatus, this album contains some of the most exquisite sound gems elegantly presented to us by Peter Milton Walsh. In this work, the piano, trumpet, strings, and synthetic beats step forward, leaving the electric guitar behind. Sprinkled throughout are instrumental haikus and subtle jazz inflections. The dark and captivating rendition of Baudelaire's poem 'To the Reader' ['Welcome to Walsh World'], translated by Robert Lowell, stands at the heart of the album. And, as ever, there's the deeply moving and beautiful singing. A summery yet nocturnal record, Apart radiates a definite air of nonchalance, innocent joy, and soft melancholy: it speaks of passing time, lost things, the present moment, and an already dawning future. A quarter-century on, it's clear that the approach to these songs has evolved, taking on new shades of meaning. And the magnificent finale 'Everything Is Given to be Taken Away' once again leaves us speechless.
