Clear Light, Dark Matter is a career retrospective that reveals the many layers of Wang Chung's music. This exclusive deluxe edition spans the band's four-decade career, featuring a carefully curated selection of their greatest hits and hidden gems. It includes a double LP (180g colored clear White & Black Ice), a 7" single of "Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Eric Kupper Remix - Club & Dub versions)", an exclusive booklet featuring photos provided by Nick Feldman and Jack Hues with written contributions from Jack Hues, a double CD, a turntable mat, an 8" x 10" semi-gloss photo with an exclusive image provided by Wang Chung, and a 5"x5" "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" sticker. More than just a collection of tracks, the album showcases the duality that defines Wang Chung: the upbeat, infectious energy of songs like "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Dance Hall Days" balanced with deeper, complex rhythms and experimental production techniques. The album title, Clear Light, Dark Matter, reflects the band's ability to bridge different musical worlds effortlessly. Tracks like "Dance Hall Days" blend African Burundi shuffle rhythms with electronic elements and rock instrumentation. At the same time, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" intertwines a Motown-inspired chord structure with modern dance production. These songs reveal Wang Chung's penchant for blending styles such as funk, pop, rock, and even prog elements. Often within a single track, creating a rich, multilayered soundscape. With it's mix of radio hits and deeper cuts, this collection is a testament to the band's influence and innovation across multiple genres.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
