Housemartins - Early Door in Carlisle 2025 Euro Red Vinyl SEALED/NM

THE HOUSEMARTINS - EARLY DOOR IN CARLISLE

Step inside a smoke-filled, freezing late-1985 Northern English club and witness the raw, sparkling birth of indie-pop royalty with this incredible limited 2025 transparent red vinyl pressing of Early Door in Carlisle by The Housemartins. Captured live at the "Stars & Stripes" venue well before London 0 Hull 4 conquered the UK charts, this stunning soundboard archive delivers the band's original, fierce four-piece lineup operating with unmatched, localized club energy. The pristine analog grooves broadcast Paul Heaton’s biting, soul-stirring vocal delivery and Stan Cullimore’s brilliant jangle guitar leads with astonishing, crystal-clear room separation—driving seamlessly from early rhythmic staples like "Sheep," "Think for a Minute," and "Flag Day" to their soaring, foot-stomping acapella covers of "We Shall Not Be Moved" and "People Get Ready". Housed in a beautifully curated retro jacket from Out-Sider Records, this vibrant transparent red LP is a mandatory, non-negotiable holy grail for any serious C86 archivist, jangle-pop historian, or elite vinyl collector.
