We're proud to announce the forthcoming release of ‘Upstairs At United - Vol. 5’, a special edition 4-track vinyl 12-inch which was recorded in analogue for Nashville based label 453 Music, a division of United Record Pressing. The record will will be released on 18th September 2012, but is available to pre-order from the Keane Shop now.
As readers of Richard's blog might remember, the band visited the historic United Record Pressing plant in Nashville, Tennessee on 21 June 2012, during their North American tour. While they were there, the band performed a stripped down version of four catalogue songs for an exclusive ‘Upstairs At United’ series of all-analogue recordings in one take straight to tape.
All recordings are captured directly to analogue tape under the leadership of mastering engineer Chris Mara of analogue recording studio Welcome to 1979, then cut to 12” EP’s at 45 RPM. The tracklisting is as follows:
Side A:
1) It's Not True
2) Sea Fog
Side B:
1) Silenced By The Night
2) Fly To Me
The vinyl, presented in a Kraft-style packaging that highlights the authentic approach used in making these records, includes session specific inserts with colour photos from the recording session, and comes in archival quality re-sealable poly bags.
Keane will be donating their royalty from this release to the Scott Johnson Bursary, a fund set up by Scott's parents to benefit young musicians at schools in Rotherham, UK. A close friend and colleague for many years, Scott tragically passed away earlier this year. For more information visit: www.scottjohnsonbursary.com

Haven't received mine either. I get the feeling it maybe shipping direct from United Record Pressing or a distribution centre in the US, which would explain the fixed more expensive shipping option and why it is taking sooo long! If that is the case, it would have been a courtesy to note that it would be shipping from the US sandbag! Also the shipping option is Royal Mail Tracked, so where is the tracking number? When I am an old man and live by the sea, will my vinyl have arrived in time for tea? And when I'm far away from the places I have known, will the warm Keane sound on vinyl bring me home?
Does anyone actually have a copy of this EP in their mitts yet? Just before I kick off at Sandbag....
Where is my mum's record?????!!!!! MY MUM WANTS TO LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful! I want to have this as soon as possible. Firstly, because of its cause, and second, because it's you, Keane. I fainted with happiness while listening to Fly To Me he he he!! Congrats for your top-quality performance which is evident in this pure recording! Lots of success to you and to everyone! Latin America waits for Keane! Lots of hugs and best wishes from Colombia. PS: Excellent way to remember Scott!! :-) He never be forgotten!
Cari Keane, mi sono emozionata a sentirvi in Fly to me, è un brano che ho sempre adorato, mi fa sognare ...! Vi ringrazio tantissimo per averci regalato questo dolcissimo video, siete magici !!! Un grosso saluto dalla vostra fan Sabrina da Catania!!!
I don't have my EP yet either :( I'm still looking forward to hearing it though, I'm not that angry yet, just slightly worried :D
so,where are these EP's then? still aint got mine :-(
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** This is really GREAT! XXXX
QUIERO :)
... and I thought it was just me Dawn. I rang home in my lunchtime hoping to hear the news of its arrival, but no luck, sorry!
That's the second day the postman has been and gone without delivering this. Still 'processing' according to information when I log in, although I've seen Sandbag tweeting that they should have gone yesterday. Does anyone actually have a copy that they ordered from here?
Este año celebramos los 50 años de la grabación de la canción "Love me do" de los Beatles. Felicidades !!!
Vaya cuatro canciones !!! Sea Fog, It's not true, Fly To me, Silenced by the night todavía no le cogido el tranquillo. It's not true no sé definirla jazz, tipo Cool Porter, pero és una passada. He empezado clases particulares de piano Tim. Solo decirte que solamente tu sabes las horas, horas i horas que habrás pasado delante del keyboard. Toda una dedicación i amor a la música. Ya lo sabes, eres mi Mozart particular. Petons. Barcelona. Marisa

OOoh, now that sounds good... looking forward to the 02 gig with heightened anticipation now! X
That is awesome! I'm so excited---sounds incredible!
So exciting! Can't wait to get it, and so wonderful that the royalties are going to the fund in honor of Scott. Very special.
Fantastic! I remember Tim telling me about this release last June after the "evacuated" show in Nashville. I was really waiting for this news, and I'm so glad to know that the band will be donating their royalty to the Scott Johnson Bursary. Sadly I don't have a vinyl player, but I will do my part and get my 12-inch anyway for my Keane collection :) I will buy a player one day, and I can always borrow one my friends :P I can't wait to listen to these 4 tracks, especially fly to me, one of my "old" favourites. Have a great week end! - Simona -
Che bella idea cari Keane un disco in vinile, la qualità del suono così è più intima , più coinvolgente, avete fatto proprio bene a realizzare una registrazione in Ep!!! Mi piace tanto anche vedere lo studio e sentirvi in video da questo importante studio di Nashiville!Sono contenta che il ricavato sarà dato in beneficenza per dei giovani musicisti di una scuola Inglese, le vostre iniziative sono sempre lodevoli! Un bacione Keane, a presto, by Sabrina from Catania, Sicily!!!
A brilliant idea! You gentlemen always make me so proud of you. A virtual hug from America goes out to all of you. ...Sherry W., Michigan, USA. @sambawoman
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** What a great idea! By the way, I have my back in pain today, so I spent the whole morning hearing the new album in my mp3. Love you, Keane, dear band! XXXXXXX All the best!
Really fantastic selection of songs...all of them master-pieces to me ♥ I'll be ordering as soon as I can...so happy that Royalties are going to *Scott's Foundation*!Keane are indeed "4 of a Kind", can't stop feeling so proud of you, for all reasons! Take care and thank you so much***
Purchased! Really glad the royalties are going toward Scott!
Pre-ordered!
