“Hello, Ian Shaw here. I'm very excited that the vinyl version of Greek Street Friday is out, released today. It's a beautiful ‘thing’ – the actual vinyl is red too! – and I hope my fans enjoy James Christos' ace photos, as well as some of the most heartfelt, funkiest and honest songs I've ever written. Not to mention my brilliant partnership with Jamie Safir, who co-wrote and produced this new record.”
