BACK STORY: PURER PHASE

● Few late 20th century bands are more suited to a meticulous overhaul of their back catalogue than Spiritualized: the neurotic attention to sonic details, elaborate packaging, cratedigger reference points and often sketchy nature of ’90s vinyl making them prime candidates for the full treatment. Hence Lazer Guided Melodies will be followed shortly by reissues of Pure Phase (1995), Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (1997) and Let It Come Down (2001) as 180g double albums, mastered from half-speed lacquer cuts and in gatefold sleeves. White vinyl, too, as a further limited edition.
