Marina and The Diamonds is set to release her 2012 UK Number 1 album ‘Electra Heart’ on vinyl for the first time.

Electra Heart was the second studio album by Welsh singer Marina Diamandis, professionally known as Marina and the Diamonds. It was released on 27 April 2012 by 679 Artists and Atlantic Records. Diamandis collaborated with producers including Liam Howe, Greg Kurstin, Dr. Luke, Diplo, and StarGate during its recording, and subsequently transitioned from the new wave musical styles seen throughout her debut studio album The Family Jewels (2010). Their efforts resulted in a concept album inspired by electropop music, a distinct departure from her earlier projects; its lyrical content is united by the topics of love and identity. Diamandis created the titular character “Electra Heart” to represent female archetypes of stereotypical American culture.

The record debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 21,358 copies. In doing so, it became Diamandis’ first chart-topping record there. The project was eventually certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry for exceeding shipments of 60,000 units.

Electra Heart was supported by three singles, all of which were supplemented by music videos. “Primadonna” was released as the lead single from the record on 20 March 2012, and peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. Follow-up singles “Power & Control” and “How to Be a Heartbreaker” were respectively released on 20 July and 7 December, and reached numbers 193 and 88 in the United Kingdom. The record was additionally promoted by Diamandis’ headlining The Lonely Hearts Club Tour, which visited Europe and North America from May 2012 through May 2013.
