The Stone Roses – 20th Anniversary Edition



With the release of their first five singles over the last few weeks now comes the big one.
The re release of The Stone Roses debut album, often quoted as one of or the best album of all time.
Since the release of this monumental album twenty years ago, musicians all over the world have been inspired, trends have been set and foundations formed for some of the4 most important movements in contemporary music.
The album itself, re mastered by original producer John Leckie and Ian Brown comes in the collectors edition, which will feature a full dvd of their legendary Blackpool Empress Ballroom show (twenty years ago today) and all sorts of rarities and B sides and a 48 page booklet featuring unseen photos and interviews with the likes of Noel Gallagher and Peter Hook. There is also a 1CD edition featuring the full 9:53 version of Fools Gold.
The re mastered version just brings back to life what an absolute classic this really is with each song sounding as good as ever. A true showcase of late Eighties – early Nineties Manchester and it still feels as relevant today as it did when first released.
