Ahead of their Dublin date at the Button Factory on Saturday December 7, San Diego legends Rocket from the Crypt have recorded a Boomtown Rats cover for a special tour single. The cover of The Boomtown Rats' My Blues Away is one of six, limited edition, one-sided singles which Rocket from the Crypt have pressed for each date of their six-date tour of Ireland and the UK. Each 7" is limited to 400 copies and 100 copies will be available at the Dublin show on December 7. Tickets on sale from tickets.ie.


 It's certainly an interesting choice. 

I'm very puzzled about all this vinyl malarkey. In the Uk vinly album sales are just 0.8 % of total 'album' sales, yet HMV is crammed with vinyl. There certainly seems to be a big mark up compared to cd's-even vinyl singles in Ireland are selling at nearly 9 euro a pop.

The irony now is that originally we were 'persuaded' to give up our old vinyl and buy everything on remastered cd's, and now they want us to go back to vinyl. Music, the gift that keeps on giving.

I like this song and feel very happy that someone should want to cover that over and above something more well known. Fabulous and interesting choice.
