60FT DOLLS
THE BIG 3: DELUXE EXPANDED EDITION
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition includes the original album together with the best of their b-sides as chosen by the band plus their session for John Peel which is listed in the Best Peel Sessions Of All Time. 60ft Dolls are one of the most underrated of the Cool Cymru bands. They spearheaded the Newport scene of the 1990s, were championed by Steve Lamacq and soon signed to Indolent Records following a couple of Rough Trade singles and support slots for Oasis, Elastica and Dinosaur Jr. The Big 3 was released in 1996 to strong reviews and made the Best Of The Year lists in the NME, The Guardian, New York Times and was named in 2003 by Mojo as one of the Top 12 Britpop Albums Of All Time. It features the singles æHappy ShopperÆ, æWhite Knuckle RideÆ, æPig ValentineÆ, æStayÆ and their Top 40 hit æTalk To MeÆ. |
