According to amazon.fr and fnac.com, a double vinyl titled “Remembering Dolores” will be released on 7 April 2022.

Not much information for now!
There is no artwork and no tracklist yet. It might be a French release only as Amazon marked the country of origin as France and some of their other stores, like amazon.it for instance, marked it as import.

Edit: Could it be the playlist pulled together by bandmates, family and friends (to celebrate Dolores’ 50th birthday last 6 September) pressed on 2 LP… Possibly!

Yesterday, Hot Press informed fans that they had started shipping the “Why Can’t We?” book orders, showing on Instagram the platinum edition.

They shared on the occasion the first pictures of the Platinum Edition:

At the moment, only fans who have ordered the Deluxe Platinum Limited Edition exclusively have received the below email.
Those who have ordered both Special Gold Edition and Deluxe Platinum Limited Edition are still awaiting for their order to be shipped.

Thanks to Jennifer for the screen shot.

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 10 – 4:50 PM (UTC)

Those who ordered the Gold Edition are now receiving shipping confirmation as well today.
It seems the last who will get the email will be fans who ordered both editions at once.

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 14

Fans who ordered both editions are now receiving their shipping emails as well.
Hot Press also shared new pictures on their Instagram account stating “deliveries are going out every day”, everyone should therefore soon be getting their order.

First image of the new Cranberries book “Why Can’t We?” shared today by user SineadB on Twitter. Possibly looks like the Gold (standard) version, not the Platinum (deluxe) one.

According to recordsonvinyl.nl and bol.com, the best of “Stars” will be re-released on double vinyl on 27 May 2022.

There is no information about the vinyl color yet; and dont pay attention to the image used on recordsonvinyl.com, the black vinyl around the album cover is what they do on all their images.

The only thing for now is that recordsonvinyl.nl states from Netherlands, and bol.com states from Czech Republic. So, who’s right?

Also, will they re-use the same transparent disc released for the Record Store Day edition with slightly different credits on back cover, or will it be a brand new black (or else) vinyl edition?

Hopefully more info soon…

Pre-order is already available now. Price: €37.95 (recordsonvinyl) and €42.99 (bol)

Thanks to Barbara for the info and links!

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 26

bol.com now states BLACK VINYL

UPDATE – APRIL 7, 2022

The Cranberries announced on their socials (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) and by email today, the release of the black vinyl, still on 27 May 2022, and shared a 15-second video for the occasion.

The album was supposed to be released today but was pushed back to 12 November as mentioned on towerrecords.ie

Same for all streaming platforms.

Might be due to Adele’s new LP pressing that is currently triggering shortage – read this article from variety.com

Don’t forget tonight on The Late Late Show, ROE performing her version of “I Can’t Be With You” to coincide with the release of the album… well, not anymore!!

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 5 – 4:00 PM (UTC)

The album is now available on all streaming platforms, it was not the case earlier in the day. Ultimately the physical release does not impact the digital one anymore.

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 6

According to goldendiscs.ie the yellow (edit: black) vinyl will be released on 28 January 2022.

UPDATE – JANUARY 29, 2022

Vinyl pushed back once again!
Supposed to be released yesterday, its new release date is now 18 February 2022, according to many websites such as goldendiscs.ie, spindizzyrecords.com…
On spindizzyrecords.com the mention yellow vinyl is back, which would indeed make more sense.

About the cd, it was released a long time ago, and still available in stores:

To mark the release of the album “Salvation”, ROE will be performing her cover of “I Can’t Be With You” tomorrow on The Late Late Show on the Irish TV RTÉ One.

Yesterday evening, fans whose pictures have been selected to feature in the Hot Press “Why Can’t We?” book that documents the history of The Cranberries have been informed in an email of the good news:

Greetings from Dublin!

I’m delighted to let you know that your photo will feature in the

hardback deluxe copy of the Cranberries book!

Hot Press emphasizes that those fan pics will only feature on the Deluxe Platinum Edition of the book, not on the Special Gold Edition.

They also remind fans that the deadline to get the name of the people who preorder the Deluxe Platinum Edition listed as Executive Producers in the book, initially set on Sept 30th, has been pushed back so as to allow more fans to get this chance.
If you haven’t pre ordered that edition yet and want to feature on the list of Executive Producers, do it fast as they’re about to close this opportunity!

Today was the official release date for “Salvation inspired by The Cranberries” and the full album was available at midnight earlier today on all streaming platforms. A few songs were even officially posted on YouTube yesterday.

Since, the album was removed everywhere but Spotify (for now, so hurry if you want to have a listen!) and its new release date is now on 5th November as mentioned on towerrecords.ie

No reason given yet…

UPDATE – OCTOBER 2

Now removed from Spotify as well.

The question and all the details were posted by Hot Press magazine on the article here, and shared by Noel Hogan on Instagram. It’s not on the band’s website nor their socials yet…

Earlier today during their facebook event to commemorate what would have been Dolores’ 50th birthday, The Cranberries announced quite out of the blue, the release of “To The Faithful Departed 25th Anniversary” for the end of the year, before Christmas.

For now they gave very few information about the content except that it will include 3 demos done in Paris with Tim Palmer (audio engineer / record producer) when they were in the middle of a tour.

If you missed The Cranberries special event on Facebook earlier today, you can watch it again here, it’s available to everyone whether you are on or off facebook. The band was interviewed by Stuart Clark (from Hot Press magazine) at the Strand hotel in Limerick.

They discussed about:

• • A brand new playlist called “Remembering Dolores” (available here)
  • The Cranberries documentary
  • To The Faithful Departed 25th Anniversary to be released this year before Christmas
  • Eminem, Miley Cyrus and their covers of Zombie
  • Charlie Watts; The Cranberries and AC/DC opening for the Stones in 2003
  • The Hot Press book
  • Touring memories
  • Noel working on soundtracks (like Woodstock 99), then the band performing Woodstock in 1994
  • Dolores being so much fun
  • Stephen Street, almost the fifth member
  • The Grammy’s
  • A brand new official music video for “Never Grow Old” (watch it here)

The Cranberries just released a brand new official music video for “Never Grow Old” made of never-seen-before archive clips. It is now live on YouTube/Vevo to celebrate Dolores’ 50th birthday.

Eileen O’Riordan was interviewed on “Sunday with Miriam” on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning.
