The King Blues‘ latest, and perhaps last, LP ‘Long Live The Struggle‘ has topped this week’s UK Record Store Chart, which is compiled entirely from sales registered at independent record stores up and down Britain.
Last week’s number one, Linkin Park‘s ‘Living Things‘, drops to #8 while the remastered re-issue of Paul Simon‘s classic ‘Graceland‘ album jumps thirty places to chart at #2.
Elsewhere, The Tallest Man On Earth‘s ‘There’s No Leaving Now‘ has also climbed significantly this week to #5 and Alabama Shakes‘ debut ‘Boys and Girls‘ continues to hold strong in the top ten (#6).
