Based on the magnificent Stiff Records parody of 1980 vs Ronald Reagan, Alcopop! Records are releasing a 7 called 'The Wit and Wisdom of Nigel Farage' for the General Election. It is, of course, utterly blank.
The A side is fully groove cut and, short of a few natural crackles or pops, will play only silence, but the exceptional Rou of Shikari Sound System (and Enter Shikari) has put together a sterling remix for the B-Side � containing more musings we imagine Mr Farage has in his head� Dripping taps, ambient noise and seagulls.
The vinyl will be fully stickered so customers are aware what they're buying, but we hope the political point will resonate. This is not a vinyl affiliated with any other political parties. This is more of a message to showcase what we think of the electoral wisdom of the UKIP leader.
Alcopop! Records were recently involved in something of a media storm after attempting to purchase the UKIP website after an of-the-cuff tweet from a Vice journalist. This feels like an adequate follow-up!
