All National Album Day releases are restricted to one of each per customer. Any orders with multiples of the same release will be cancelled.

Demon are delighted to present the classic Kirsty MacColl album ‘Desperate Character’ for National Album Day 2026. Available on vinyl for the first time since its initial 1981 release on Green vinyl.

Desperate Character was Kirsty MacColl's debut studio album, released in June 1981 and produced by Barry "Bazza" Farmer.

Due to limited original pressings and contract issues shortly after its release, the original vinyl LP became a rare, sought-after collector's item, until now.
