McAlmont & Butler - The Sound Of Mcalmont & Butler - Blue & Green Vinyl - VINYL LP

It's just over 30 years ago that former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and ex-Thieves frontman David McAlmont unleashed the extraordinary single 'Yes' at the beginning of a summer awash with Britpop and Ibiza rave. With it's instant-classic sound, augmented by soaring '60s strings, it sounded epic and most definitely unlike anything else at the time. Rightly, today it's considered a stone-cold classic. When it followed in the December of the same year, the album 'The Sound Of...' was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. The album was also singled out by critics as one of the year's very best. 'The Guardian' newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while 'The Times's critic commented Inchthe monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.Inch For this limited-edition reissue, the original album has been mastered over 2LPs for enhanced audio quality. Mastering from the original studio tapes was overseen by Bernard himself and undertaken by his longtime studio partner George Shilling. Album Tracks 1. Yes (Full Version) 2.
