(Perspective Communications) The Boo Radleys' classic album, Giant Steps will be reissued in three, special remastered vinyl editions almost 30 years to the day since its original release. With a clutch of rarities pressed onto bonus discs coming with limited, coloured variants of the three new vinyl editions, the band's genre-ambiguous and widely-acclaimed masterpiece will become available to fans old and new on Fri 1 September 2023 via Two-Piers.
Strictly limited to 1000 copies, a soon-to-be-sought-after Dinked Edition, comprised of two marble-coloured discs with a special, bonus 12" featuring alternate, non-album mixes of four tracks, Lazarus, Rodney King and Peachy Keen leads in the collectors' stakes. A deluxe, double LP on orange and purple-coloured vinyl, including a separate 10" record featuring remixes by fellow end-of-century voyagers in sound, Saint Etienne joins the running, with a standard black double-vinyl edition also on offer. A super-limited, 500 copy Boos Store-only edition comes with a special edition pin badge.
All versions, comprising the same 17-track running order, have undergone remastering in a collaborative process undertaken by all four original band members, Simon 'Sice' Rowbottom, Tim Brown, Martin Carr and Rob Cieka.
Coming at the closing stages of a celebratory and dates-packed year for The Boo Radleys, the vinyl reissues are preceded by the band - touring without Carr - taking to the road for seven Giant Steps Tour live dates, opening with a SOLD-OUT warm-up date at Reading, South Street Arts Centre on Tue 13 June.
