The Boo Radleys reveal vinyl reissue to celebrate the 30 th anniversary of their nineties genre-hopping masterpiece "Giant Steps"
NME's 1993 Album Of The Year, named in the Top 20 of Pitchfork's The 50 Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time and lauded as one of
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, The Boo Radleys' classic album, Giant Steps will be reissued, on special remastered vinyl
almost 30 years to the day since its original release. The band's genre-ambiguous and widely-acclaimed masterpiece will become
available to fans old and new on 1st September 2023 via Two-Piers.
Only the second of their five albums to be released on the legendary Creation Records, at a time when label mates including
Slowdive, Teenage Fanclub and Ride were also casting long shadows across the indie landscape, pre-the Oasis hurricane making
landfall at the label, Giant Steps broke into the canon of great, experimental rock albums soon after its release. It's first single,
Lazarus, issued as a standalone release in November 1992, its blend of brass and guitar-squall and acutely introspective lyrics, gave a
hint of what was to come and remains lodged in the band's most-loved and best-known songs. For the 2023 reissue, Lazarus' 12"
version appears on the all-formats track listing for the first time.
Recorded at London's Protocol Studios, where Carr and Brown took on self-production duties with support from engineer, Andy
Wilkinson, The Boo Radleys set about responding to their shared sense of dissatisfaction with their 1992 album, Everything's Alright
Forever. Free to do as they please, they set about making a record of complete artistic freedom, bringing in reggae (Upon 9 th And
Fairchild), dance (Rodney King) and irresistible, warped indie pop (Barney And Me) influences into the studio and, without limitation, weaved them into the satisfyingly complex fabric of Giant Steps. Snapshot incidentals, intermissions and between-radio-station static
intro/outros added to the sense of unrestrained exploration.
