25 year anniversary edition of the seminal 1997 Echo & The Bunnymen album. Available or the first ever time on vinyl, re-mastered for vinyl from the source tapes. First pressing on solid white vinyl. 2CD bonus tracks include studio b-sides, live and acoustic sessions and previously unreleased tracks.
After a lengthy hiatus, Echo & The Bunnymen returned to the fore with ‘Evergreen’, revealing the brighter side of the band, and standing up with any of their earlier work.
The self-produced album was recorded at The Doghouse in Henley-On-Thames with additional strings, horns and vocal arrangements recorded at Abbey Road.
The album saw the band rightfully return to the UK album charts at #8, with 3 singles (‘Nothing Lasts Forever’, ‘I Want to Be There [When You Come]’ and ‘Don’t Let It Get You Down’) entering the UK top 50.
‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ (with backing vocals and tambourine by Liam Gallagher) becomes of of the band’s most enduring and well-loved songs - a UK Top 10 and a fan favourite to this day.
