PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Needle Mythology Records release - a super deluxe, expanded remastered edition of The Lilac Time's 1991 album Astronauts, with over three years of meticulous preparation. The 3LP format comes complete with an extensive 11,000-word oral history and liner notes by co-founder Pete Paphides, a devoted admirer of Stephen Duffy. At the height of the shoegaze and baggy scenes, Astronauts emerged as a unique entry that sidestepped prevailing trends. While it may not reflect the album Duffy originally envisioned, it stands as a remarkable collection of songs. Duffy crafts mesmerising melodies that linger in the listener's memory, creating a sound that feels introspective rather than utopian. With the departure of Nick Duffy and the introduction of Sagat Guirey, the band's sonic palette shifts dramatically, favouring jazz-infused guitar work over the folk elements of previous albums. Guirey's intricate playing, especially on tracks like 'A Taste for Honey', shows the evolution of the band while honouring its past.

Limited to 1,000 copies
trifold 3xLP + booklet in debossed sleeve

Please note: the plastic seal on this copy is adrift (see pic) but not fully removed and the album has never been played.

Retails for over £65.
