OCEAN COLOUR SCENE announce ‘Yesterday Today: 1999 – 2003’ vinyl collection

Ocean Colour Scene

Continuing their celebration of one of Britain’s finest bands, Demon Records are proud to present Yesterday Today 1999 to 2003. This is the next in the ongoing series where the label focuses on a period from the band’s illustrious career and pulls together their studio albums in one concise vinyl box.

Within this boxset set you’ll find One From The Modern; the bands fourth album that at the time represented something of a slight departure from the previous two records. A more reflective, soulful and pastoral sound as well as a more political message, albeit with a late-60s psychedelic slant, reminiscent of The Byrds, Small Faces or later-period Beatles.

The band’s fifth album Mechanical Wonder peaked in the UK chart at #7. Tracks such as ‘Up On The Downside’, ‘If I Gave You My Heart’ and ‘Mechanical Wonder’ represent a continuation of the popular Ocean Colour Scene sound. Plus, this is the first time this album has been reissued on vinyl since it was first released in 2001.

Finishing off the set is North Atlantic Drift, which is also appearing on vinyl for the first time since its initial release. An exceptionally good album that ranks alongside the band’s best, featuring the tracks ‘I Just Need Myself’, ‘Golden Gate Bridge’ and ‘Second Hand Car’.

Put together in full coordination with the band, all of these albums have been remastered by Phil Kinrade at Alchemy Mastering and are now pressed on limited edition 140g colour vinyl.
