ARCHIVE MUSIC WEEK August 16, 2003
The hottest temperatures of the year to date are seeing customers swap the High Street for the sun. Dale Elston, general manager of HMV’s flagship Oxford Circus store suggests: “The extreme weather is proving pretty challenging to all West End retail” but Virgin Megastores Brighton store manager Niall Hyslop says that customers are cooling down
in his air-conditioned store…The trio of Robbie Williams at Knebworth shows are likely to have grossed an estimated total of £40m. CEO of EMI Tony Wadsworth says: “He is the biggest star in the UK and the world outside of the US”… Amy Winehouse’s second single Take The Box is on the Music Week playlist as word of mouth continues to grow on this “extraordinary UK talent”… Former Pixies frontman Frank Black (pictured) says 4AD’s deal to be distributed by Elektra is a “silly little bid for credibility” adding that he has never moved to a major because “they are just going to end up dropping me and tying me up”.
NEW RELEASES RECOMMENDED 16.08.03
ELTON JOHN Are You Ready For Love? BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB Take Them On Your Own The full release of Elton’s rediscovered disco track has been brought forward due to “incredible” airplay support. And its initial run of 3,000 vinyl copies has completely sold out securing its status as the “tune of the summer”. Album Of The Week goes to Take Them On Your Own by BRMC. The trio’s second record is a mix of punk-fuzz, moodier tracks and lyrics rife with potshots at politicians, drugs, guns and religion: “a set of killer tunes” and one of the “key releases of the year”.
