Limited box set comes in a bespoke 7" box and includes CD plus various ephemera consisting of the original album in a special gatefold sleeve - long deleted 7" vinyl single pertaining to the relevant year of release - reproduction gig flyers - double sided wall poster - and four button lapel badges for wearing with pride Digitally remastered edition of the 1984 album from British cult outfit Felt. Lawrence escapes the contours of a bland city and retreats into his mind. Felt had risen from the underworld searching for a new horizon but only managed to slip into a desolate obscurity! Dark black slabs of creosote guitar - vast swathes of epic interplay - casting futuristic Shadows - an idiosyncratic and unobtrusively brilliant band, the music Felt made on this album is unlike anything attempted before. This really is a template for an age yet to come. And it pays to know that Maurice Deebank now resides in a monastery in Birmingham!
