'World Of Echo' is being reissued this April on coloured vinyl with new sleeve notes by Russell's long-term partner, Tom Lee, and manager of his catalogue at Audika Records, Steve Knutson. The reissue is part of Rough Trade's 50th anniversary series, in which they are repressing exclusive new editions of seminal albums from their history.
This event is brought to you in partnership with Bristol's Noods Radio. Born from Sunday morning sessions in 2015, it began as a means to share music. Since then Noods has become home to an array of misfits, collectors and selectors from around the globe. Tune in with open ears. No adverts; just the music.
