Coming on vinyl: MEMS 25th Anniversary Edition and TOM 40th Anniversary EP

The new edition comes on silver vinyl

Minor Earth | Major Sky (2000) is set to be reissued on 2LP vinyl as a 25th Anniversary Edition on December 12th, by Warner Music Germany.

The only difference from the previous 2019 2LP vinyl release of the same album (which is still readily available) seems to be the addition of four live tracks from Vallhall in 2001; “Minor Earth | Major Sky”, “The Sun Never Shone That Day”, “Velvet”, “Summer Moved On” and silver-coloured vinyl instead of black.

With the added live versions there will be more tracks spread across the two 180g LPs; 9 tracks on LP1 (6 on the 2019 version) and 8 tracks on LP2 (7 on the 2019 version).

The 25th Anniversary Edition can be pre-ordered from Amazon UK and Amazon Germany (paid links).

RSD EP on Ruby Red vinyl.

There will also be a 40th Anniversary Edition EP of “Take On Me” released by Rhino as part of the Record Store Day 2025 Black Friday event on November 28th.

It seems only 3000 copies will be available worldwide, pressed on Ruby Red 12″ vinyl. The EP is available only in participating record stores on November 28th and then online on November 29th.

Here is the tracklist:

A1. Take On Me (40th Anniversary Extended Version)
A2. Take On Me (1984 Single Version)
A3. Take On Me (1985 Single Version)
A4. Take On Me (1985 Instrumental Version)
