    “By Day, Richie Weeks Sorted Mail. At Night, He Was a Disco Mastermind.” Declared the New York Times last year for the release of Richie Weeks first volume of the Love Magician Archive take from the incredible treasure trove of unreleased Disco songs co-produced by the late Patrick Adams and Richie from the late Seventies to the mid Eighties.

    Volume 1 received critical acclaim and press worldwide and floored any Disco aficionados. It also sold out instantly. 

    So here’s Volume 2. 12 songs straight from the archives, never released and absolutely mind-blowing. It’s Disco at its finest with one of the best in the game.

  • T-Shirt/Shirt

    Last year, Richie Weeks got a ton of press for his first Love Magician Archive compilation. In the Netherlands, national newspaper Der Volkstrant gave Richie the coveted cover of their music section. They hired Dutch illustrator Philip Lindeman to illustrate the cover and article. Richie and I were blown away by the illustrations so we reached out to Philip and he agreed to design a T Shirt for Richie and Past Due Records. Here's the first press. It's super limited and we hope you'll like it as much as we do!

    T Shirt is Gildan 100% Coton and is printed in the front and the back.
