Hard rock Hallelujah - Lordi

Last week's Record Store Day has come and gone, and as usual I didn't participate. The whole idea of waiting in line for a record store to open and then to find out that the item I want is either already sold or has not even arrived in that shop doesn't appeal to me at all. Fortunately I have the kind of taste that most people don't even have to fight for. And so I waited patiently for Sunday, when the special Record Store Day releases became available online. 

I only really wanted one item: this 12" single of Lordi's 'Hard rock Hallelujah', released twenty years after the Finnish monster band won the Eurovision Song Contest. It's a beautiful release: a white disc with a UV print on one side and three tracks on the other side. The designers didn't really think this through: I would have placed the sticker at the bottom, not at the top.  

My collection: 12" single [unnumbered]
Found: Velvet Music, received 21 April 2026
Tracks:  'Hard rock Hallelujah (Eurovicious radio edit)', 'Hard rock Hallelujah', 'Mr. Killjoy'
