DARK TEA-TIME OF THE SOUL"I am not as other detectives!" Presented in triple gatefold vinyl for the very first time, Dirk Gently - The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul sees Harry Enfield return as the singular detective in this full-cast BBC radio dramatisation of the novel by Douglas Adams. First broadcast on Radio 4 in 2008, these fantastically entertaining comedy sci-fi dramas are adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs, acclaimed for his dramatisations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Good Omens, Neverwhere and many others. When Dirk Gently's long-suffering secretary, Janice, resigns to work in an airport, it's the beginning of a very strange adventure for both of them. The detective takes to reading palms whilst dressed as an old gypsy woman, but meanwhile the ancient Norse God Odin has fallen into the hands of an unscrupulous advertising executive (and her husband). Bring on Odin's son, Thor, a godlike curse that turns Janice into a vending machine, and countless other interconnected things.

Three 140g coloured vinyl discs - in Holistic Red, Yellow and Blue - are presented in an illustrated triple gatefold sleeve, with an exclusive sleeve note by Dirk Maggs.A lavish collector's piece for fans of Douglas Adams' uniquely British blend of cosmic absurdity and dry wit, "Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Tea-time Of The Soul" appears here as a striking red/blue/yellow Vinyl Maxi edition. This premium pressing celebrates the surreal, genre-bending world of holistic detective Dirk Gently--where Norse gods collide with modern bureaucracy, and everyday life constantly threatens to tip into the fantastical. The colorful tri-tone vinyl underscores the story's tonal range, from deadpan comedy to darkly whimsical reflections on fate, chaos, and the interconnectedness of all things. Designed for collectors and bibliophiles who also value high-quality physical media, this edition turns a beloved Adams classic into an eye-catching display piece as much as a listening or spoken-word experience, depending on the exact recording included.
Douglas Adams, world-famous for creating "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," is widely regarded as one of the defining voices of modern science-fiction comedy. His work reshaped how genre fiction could sound: clever, philosophical, and outrageously funny in the same breath. With the "Dirk Gently" series, Adams expanded his universe beyond space opera into a more earthbound, but no less bizarre, detective milieu--one that has inspired radio plays, TV adaptations, and a loyal global fan community. This release pays homage to that legacy, offering an ideal gateway for newcomers and a coveted artifact for long-time admirers.
Released by Demon, a label known for its carefully curated reissues and collector-focused editions, this Vinyl Maxi benefits from the brand's emphasis on archival quality and presentation. Demon has built its reputation on treating cult material and classic catalogues with respect: thoughtful artwork, considered packaging and, where applicable, well-mastered audio. Owning a Demon release often means owning a version that is designed to last--both as a physical item and as part of a serious collection. With its bold red/blue/yellow vinyl concept and the enduring popularity of Douglas Adams' off-kilter storytelling, this "Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Tea-time Of The Soul" edition is tailored for enthusiasts who appreciate imaginative literature, collectible formats, and the charm of a carefully produced Vinyl Maxi. | | | No. of tracks: |
