**** WE DID IT!!! ***** 1 July '16: Thanks to everyone who signed the petition. "A Storm In Heaven" is being officially re-released in September 2016. Pre-orders are open now. About time, eh!!
This album is a pinnacle of soaring, majestic, cosmic space rock and holds a very special place in the hearts of people who heard it when it was released, as well as people who weren't even born then.
If you want a mint copy on vinyl now, it will cost you about £200, which is impossible for the vast majority of decent music fans. We're requesting a vinyl re-issue as soon as possible. "A Storm In Heaven" came out originally in 1993 on Hut Recordings, which is owned by Virgin Records. So come on Virgin, give the people what they want!!
We wrote to Hut Records telling them about this petition, and everyone who'd signed it, in February 2014, and asked them what they thought. No-one ever wrote back. We'd heard from various sources they didn't give a damn and they proved this right. But keep signing the petition, and maybe one day one of the corporate goblins will listen and actually do the right thing.

We are approaching one hundred signatures which provides the leverage needed to contact the label's distribution department again. Please circulate this link to those who collect vinyl records so we can cross this threshold by the end of the day.

This album is a part of my youth but I can't afford a $200+ album. Please give us a remastered vinyl . I love strolling down memory lane and this is one of my all time favorites . It truly makes me happy!
an overlooked 90's masterpiece, at the time I was young and didn't "get it". 20 years on, it has revealed itself as a tremendous album. I'd love to hear and own this on vinyl.
had a chance to buy this record on vinyl when it originally came out, and didnt have cash on me. Ive been killing myself ever since
I just hope that the reissue--should this petition gets noticed--will eventually be available for those of us who live in countries where Record Store Day is nonexistent. (I secured my copy of the red vinyl Verve EP via an online seller, months after RSD '13, so ...it could happen!)
I'd pay $25-40 for a sweet, quality remaster, with the delixe sleeve treatment. Maybe a 2x12" with bonue material. That would be a sell out for sure!!
A thing of beauty & Joy forever!
Please make it!

Un album incroyable d'inventivités et de surprises successives; sorte de monument dédié à la passion pour une musique rageuse et pourtant lumineuse. A quand une réédition en vinyl digne de ce nom ?
