February 9, 2026
Album release April 18th, 2026
Exclusively available for Record Store Day, 2026
Virgin Prunes are celebrating @recordstoreday on 18.04.26 with a special exclusive vinyl release of Hérésie to support independent record shops. Originally released in 1982, the album compiles crucial early recordings that blur the boundaries between post-punk, industrial music, performance art, and gothic experimentation. This newly expanded vinyl edition restores the original album in newly remastered form and includes a rare live recording from the Rex Club in Paris. Housed with an 8-page booklet and featuring brand new sleeve notes by Jon Wood, this edition makes a vital and long hard-to-find title accessible once again in definitive form.
