Radio Retaliation - (17th Anniversary Edition · Double LP)

Thievery Corporation — Radio Retaliation 17th Anniversary Edition · Double LP W/ Bonus Track Originally released in 2008, Radio Retaliation remains one of Thievery Corporation’s most powerful and politically charged albums — a global protest record wrapped in deep bass, dub, bossa, reggae, Afrobeat, sitar-laced psychedelia, and the unmistakable Washington, D.C. downtempo sound of Eric Hilton and Rob Garza. For its 17th anniversary, Radio Retaliation returns as a double vinyl edition featuring the original album alongside the bonus track “Philosopher’s Stone.” Pressed across two records and presented in a gatefold jacket, this edition places one LP in each side of the sleeve and opens to reveal full interior artwork across the center spread. Featuring a wide-reaching cast of collaborators, including Femi Kuti, Seu Jorge, Anoushka Shankar, Chuck Brown, Sleepy Wonder, LouLou Ghelichkhani, Notch, Verny Varela, Jana Andevska, and Zee, the album moves like a pirate radio broadcast from around the world — urgent, hypnotic, and deeply atmospheric. A landmark entry in the Thievery Corporation catalog, Radio Retaliation captures the duo’s signature mix of global grooves and conscious resistance at full force, from the opening call of “Sound the Alarm” to the closing drift of “Sweet Tides.” Track Listing Side A Sound The Alarm Mandala Radio Retaliation Vampires Side B 5.
