2026 marks ten years since the planets aligned for the release of Channel The Spirits – the debut album by The Comet Is Coming. The trio of Shabaka, Danalogue and Betamax, powerful in their own right, transcended to another plane when united.

Exploding In Slow Motion: The Complete Channel The Spirits Recordings 2013-2017CE celebrates that legacy by bringing together the original album, the Prophecy and Death To The Planet EPs and various rarities from the era, including four previously unreleased tracks. Released on coloured triple vinyl in a maximalist package, as well as a new double CD, the reissue sees Death To The Planet on CD for the first time, and seven tracks new to vinyl, including one completely new track unearthed from the band’s first ever recorded session.

The Comet was first sighted in 2013, their reputation enhanced by tranformative live shows at the Total Refreshment Centre in east London and beyond. Their debut EP Prophecy arrived in a blaze of light and sound and word spread. Channel The Spirits followed and the wider world sat up and took notice, notably when the album was named a Mercury Music Prize album of the year in 2016. It was followed closely by the Death To The Planet EP – although death in this case was rebirth. And dancing.

In 2019 the band signed for Impulse! and recorded two further albums – Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery and Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam, plus The Afterlife EP. It took The Comet Is Coming global, with tours across five continents.

The Comet Is Coming burned bright for a relatively short time but touched everyone who witnessed them in action - a spiritual union of exceptional musicianship, utter conviction and a rare ability to channel the energy of the universe.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

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.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

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.
