Felt – The Strange Idols Pattern And Other Short Stories (Cherry Red) Ltd Signed Remastered CD & 7” Vinyl Boxset

Product Description

• Anyone who’s been living on the grapevine these past few years must have heard the rumours about the coming of the FELT reissues – well they’re here.

• During the ‘80s Felt made ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels. This beautifully produced series examines the work of one of the greatest underground groups of modern times.

• The first five albums will be released on 23rd February 2018.These vinyl records, unavailable for many years, have been remastered and revisited by Lawrence, and he has fashioned the ultimate definitive collections. They are available in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

• Before the Stone Roses and after Be-Bop Deluxe and Plastic Ono Band, John Leckie worked with Felt. Booked into a metal/reggae studio in Birmingham’s industrial wasteland he sculpted a Michelangelo slice of new rock – exquisite and beautiful guitar odysseys – quite unlike anything the city had experienced before. Merging pop with a classical nuance Felt stood alone as the forerunners of a brand new style. And Gary Ainge was finally allowed to use his high-hat!

FORMAT: Initial pressing of 2000 come signed by Lawrence (sticker on the front). CD comes in a bespoke 7” box, includes the original album in a special gatefold sleeve – long deleted 7” vinyl single, reproduction gig flyers, double-sided poster, and four button lapel badges.
