Republica (30th Anniversary) - Black & Red Cornetto Color Vinyl Record
Republica's self-titled 1996 debut went platinum in the UK and charted across Europe and Australasia, powered by the top ten hit "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and the endlessly synced "Ready To Go." Fronted by Saffron, the band welded punk attitude to big electronic hooks and became one of the defining sounds of mid-90s British pop.
This 30th anniversary special edition is pressed on black and red "cornetto" vinyl, a nod to Saffron's famous hair. A second LP captures the band's complete set at the Day At The Races event at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in August 1997. Six of those live tracks appeared briefly on CD at the end of that year, and the other three, mixed and mastered from the original multitrack sources, are released here for the first time.
The first LP also closes with the original UK mix of "Ready To Go." For anyone who wore out the CD back then or found the band through a film or TV placement, this is the version to own. Turn it up loud.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
