THE TESTIMONIAL TOUR OF 45s (aka The Singular Adventures of Edwyn Collins)

#26: I Hear A New World : Edwyn Collins (Setanta Records, ZOP PR005, 1997)

Edwyn Collins‘ discography section on wiki lists this as an EP released in November 1997.  It is also listed on Discogs under the singles/EPs section.  I’ve a copy, picked up second-hand many years ago. I didn’t pay too much money for it, and judging by a reasonable level of availability on Discogs, it’s not all that rare.

I Hear A New World consists of 2 slabs on vinyl, both of which rotate at 33 ⅓ rpm, and have plain white labels.  The only info about the music comes on a sticker on what is an otherwise plain white sleeve.  The release offers up seven remixes of songs on I’m Not Following You.  Not all the remixes were new, as the Adidas World offering is one which appeared on CD2 of that very single.  But here’s the rest of them…..some of the artists who delivered the remixes will be well known to those with a degree of knowledge about the club scene.
