The way ‘Phasers on Stun’ spirals into ‘Sola Kola’; the\nsunburned 23-second improv at the end of ‘Pachinko’; the slack-echoing strings of the outro to ‘Road Song’\nsprayed with the shrapnel of toy electronics. Pure pop magic, Ren \u0026amp; Stimpy on upstairs, ray-guns, Ian’s\nhomemade walkie-talkie speaker, a beatbox, all sealed with a “Talking Tina” doll’s emphatic endorsement: “I\nlove it”” – Nick Soulsby\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinyl-only double LP set comprises the original 1996 album recorded by John Rivers, accompanied with\nan extra disk of unreleased demos, rare singles and B-sides which have not been available since the 90’s. It\ndocuments the time leading up to the release of the LP and the singles that came from it, capturing the\ndevelopment, lost pop moments and essential experiments from the eccentric and joyful Glasgow band. The\ncover has been completely remixed using archive\nphotos and artwork from the time, with new interviews and extensive notes. The release marks 30 years\nsince the official birthday of the band, 9\/3\/93.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocket Girl","offers":[{"title":"Gold LPx2","offer_id":50413993853259,"sku":"2024248","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50413993132363,"sku":"2009249","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/RGIRL131LP_0766cc2c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726680765","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/we-are-urusei-yatsura","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
