VINYL

As you may have already heard, Black Apple will be available for digital download on 6/1. CD will follow on 7/1. But what of vinyl?
Believe it or not, Black Apple on vinyl would need to be a 4 record set. Yes, there is THAT much music. And of course, that would cost a fortune to press and a small fortune for the customer to purchase. So, where does this leave us? It leaves us to be "creative".

Above you will find the cover for 'Slices From The Black Apple'. The band wanted to take some of the most Wings-like songs from 36 and create a vinyl album that felt like a lost McCartney & Wings record - circa 1974. This collection of songs in an entirely different experience than Black Apple, thus we had to give it its own cover and a new name. And, as with vinyl, it can hold roughly 20 minutes of music per side, which made for a challenge to be sure. We like how it turned out and we think you might too. This record should fit nicely right next to Red Rose Speedway.

The band didn't stop there. They wanted a keepsake of a different kind, so it was decided to create another condensed version of Black Apple. Below you will find pics of that record, which does feature a bit different song picks from the big album. What makes this vinyl record special is that it is a 'picture disc'. An alternate cover pic on side A, and another related pic on side B. 
Now then, this record was more so for the band and not necessarily for the public, but the band thought it would be fun to make it available for a short while to anyone who wanted it. All in good fun. The last hurrah and all.

The good news is that both vinyl albums are available right now.  Click HERE to be redirected.
