Reissues and releases

Saint Etienne / Foxbase Alpha (coloured vinyl)
30th anniversary reissue of the Saint Etienne classic on green vinyl. Previously on the band’s shop but now more widely available.

The Madness (vinyl reissue)
The one and only album from The Madness is reissued on 180g black vinyl with new sleeve notes. It was originally issued in 1988 and it’s fair to say was not very well received critically or commercially. ‘The Madness’ were four of the original members: Suggs, Lee Thompson, Chris Foreman and vocalist Cathal Smyth.

Teenage Fanclub / Bandwagonesque
Teenage Fanclub’s third album (originally issued on Creation in 1991) is reissued on black vinyl by Sony. Unlike the 2018 reissue campaign this doesn’t come with a bonus seven-inch single, but presumably uses the same band-approved remastering.
