These Were The Earlies by The Earlies

This 2004 masterpiece has just been rereleased, I think for the first time on vinyl. It is a truly exceptional record and one of those things that deserved far more success than it achieved. It’s definitely in my Top 100 albums of all time; I remember so well seeing the band play this in 2004 and my jaw quite literally dropping at the splendour of it all. This is harmony-driven, vaguely psychedelic new-country music, which is multi-layered and rich with melody. A classic that got away.

Numbered, limited edition on double cream vinyl (I mean cream coloured and a double album; I am not being specific about the cream colour).
