Squire are thrilled to announce a special BLACK VINYL reissue of NO TIME TOMORROW b/w DON’T CRY TO ME! Re- Released 21st August 2022 in Black vinyl. Previously Released in Pillar Box Red (only a few available) and Bubble Gum Pink  (Totally Sold Out!) Squire's 5th single release was a psychedelic pop masterpiece, an alchemy combining the spirit of The Beatles 'Revolver' and summoning the presence of Beethoven!

The annual coming together for Mods Mayday has reminded us of the pivotal Mods Mayday...
