'Bring It On' Again: Gomez Plan Deluxe Edition of Debut Album

March 1, 2018 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

British rockers Gomez are bringing out their critically acclaimed debut album Bring It On in a whole new way for its 20th anniversary this year, with a multi-format reissue in May and a North American tour to follow.

While the group's debut album was a modest chart success, just missing the U.K. Top 10 albums chart and yielding only one Top 40 single, "Whippin' Piccadilly" - critics and fans alike made the LP a hearty slow-burner, eventually going platinum in its native England. The lo-fi affair - essentially a series of freewheeling demos given minimal embellishment by engineer Ken Nelson (who collaborated on the group's follow-up Liquid Skin and later co-produced Coldplay's first three albums) - was hailed for its simplicity, hailed as a "damn beautiful album" by Spin and deemed "an intriguing blend of swamp blues, bar-room rock and eerie power" by the British Phonographic Industry when they awarded the album the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

Previously reissued for its 10th anniversary with a bonus disc of B-sides and BBC session tracks, the super deluxe Bring It On features all that material and more, including some two dozen demos and early recordings plus the group's set at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 1998. A 10,000-word essay by Paul Stokes draws from new interviews with the band and their associates.

The 4CD deluxe set, as well as single CD and 2LP remasters of the original album, are available April 20. Full specs and Amazon links are below.

The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
