Not Sorry Records

Reissue of SPORT’s second album from 2014.

Ten of the eleven songs on SPORT’s second album from Lyon are named after deceased athletes. Their ’90s-style emo in the vein of Braid and Cap’n Jazz shines through its powerful execution. The intro alone—blending a sample from the coming-of-age classic Stand by Me with melancholic guitar interplay—is enchanting and leads straight into the rousing opener “Reggie Lewis.”
While other emo bands sink into lethargy, SPORT remain dynamic, euphoric, and utterly captivating. Hard to describe, but a true stroke of genius.

A little word on PPWR

Chances are, you’ve already heard of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, aka PPWR.

As the name suggests, the whole idea is to reduce packaging waste and make us all a little more conscious about our environmental footprint. Which is, obviously, a good thing.
Pressing records, however, is already something of an ecological nightmare — and we haven’t even started talking about the bonkers ways records travel around the world.

Here at Not Sorry, we try to keep things as sensible as possible: we ship in cardboard mailers, use paper-based packing material and non-plastic tape, and usually throw in only a few flyers and stickers. Some records come wrapped in foil, some don’t. We’re pretty sure you know how to recycle these materials — but if you’re unsure, just drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll figure it out together.

Unfortunately, PPWR also comes with a rather massive downside for small businesses like ours: we would need to register and obtain packaging recycling certificates in every single EU country we ship to. The costs and paperwork involved are simply not manageable for us.

So, for the time being, we can only ship to Germany and all non-EU countries worldwide. Sorry about that!

If you’re inside the European Union but outside Germany and there’s a record in our shop that you absolutely need in your life, please don’t give up just yet. Drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll see if we can find a way to get it to you.
