Apples For Isaac is officially sitting at No. 8 in the UK midweek album chart — putting Echo & The Bunnymen on course for their first UK Top 10 studio album in 29 years, since Evergreen. So, if you’ve been thinking about buying a copy, now is the time. Grab the vinyl. Pick up the CD. Buy a second or even a third copy. Introduce a friend to Echo & The Bunnymen and give them a copy of Apples For Isaac. Head down to your local HMV, Rough Trade or independent record shop, or order online from Townsend Music. Every copy counts between now and the final chart — and we really can do this. Let’s get Apples For Isaac into the UK Top 10. 🐰🍎
