Posted by Tori on


UPDATE 06/01/2017

PREORDER NOW SOLD OUT

What does this mean?
It means that we've sold out of our initial allocation of stock from the supplier, based on the quantities they believe will be available.

Will you be able to get any more of this product?
After the release date, we *may* be able to offer a small number of this title once again. However at this time, it's safe to say that we think the available stock is accounted for by those who got in quick.

Let's kick off 2017 with news everyone will love: The Avalanches’ landmark debut LP, Since I Left You, will finally be made available on vinyl again – this time on never seen before, limited edition blue-coloured 2LP. 

Fans can pre-order HERE, with the vinyl hitting our shelves from January 27.

We're told numbers are very limited for this release, so if you're keen on it, preorder is advised.


Last month, The Avalanches took a vote from fans via their website to choose the colour of the standard vinyl edition of Since I Left You. Blue topped the poll. This'll be the first time in years that the standard version with original tracklisting will be available on vinyl.

The Melbourne band’s iconic debut 'Since I Left You' blew minds at the time of its release in Nov 2000, winning a bunch of ARIA Awards and topping charts worldwide. The Avalanches’ sample-based approach on 'Since I Left You' set a precedent that's been influential ever since and some might say is yet to be rivalled. The record’s singles 'Frontier Psychiatrist' and 'Since I Left You' were accompanied by gorgeous, unforgettable videos that the punters loved as much as the tunes.

Some of the reviews at the time of release:

“Since I Left You sounds like nothing else” – Pitchfork, 9.5/10

“A masterpiece of mood-setting that riffs off an ideal where getting on an airplane and landing in another corner of the world was the most exotic thing a person could do.” – Pitchfork.

The band enjoyed a massive year in 2016, with 6 ARIA Award nominations – Telstra Album Of The Year, Best Dance Release, Best Group, Engineer Of The Year, Producer Of The Year and Best Cover Art, an ARIA #1 album for “Wildflower” on debut, and stellar album reviews. Praise for “Wildflower”:

“Better than just about any music ever made…” – PITCHFORK

“Avalanches new album is another mind-blowing musical trip” – SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (4 Stars)

“It’s an irresistible record in so many ways..... Play this uber-loud on a sound system that’s up for the challenge. It is indeed a classic, one that can sit next to its born-at-the-right-time sibling Since I Left You. Spend some time with it.” – THE HERALD SUN (4 Stars)

The Avalanches are currently on a select group of festival and standalone dates, including Falls Festival and shows in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

Future Dates:

Tues 3 Jan Melbourne Town Hall Melbourne, Vic **sold out
Wed 4 Jan Melbourne Town Hall Melbourne, Vic
Thurs 5 Jan Enmore Theatre Sydney, NSW **sold out 
Sat 7 Jan Thebarton Theatre Adelaide, SA
Sun 8 Jan Falls Festival Fremantle, WA

And just so we're clear - numbers are VERY limited for this release. We're not making this up. Preorder advised if this one's on your wish list.
