While his own name has yet to grace an album front cover, for more than a twenty years Gem Archer has been a key contributor to some of the UK’s highest profile guitar bands, beginning with Oasis in 2000, Beady Eye in 2009 and the touring version of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds since 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore all that there was Heavy Stereo, caught up in the mid ‘90s music maelstrom where their only album \u003ci\u003eDéjà Voodoo\u003c\/i\u003e took its place alongside Paul Weller’s \u003ci\u003eStanley Road\u003c\/i\u003e, The Charlatans’ \u003ci\u003eTelling Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, Super Furry Animals’ \u003ci\u003eFuzzy Logic\u003c\/i\u003e, Supergrass’s \u003ci\u003eI Should Coco\u003c\/i\u003e, The Boo Radley’s\u003ci\u003e Giant Steps,\u003c\/i\u003e Ride’s \u003ci\u003eCarnival Of Light\u003c\/i\u003e – and, of course, \u003ci\u003eDefinitely Maybe \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?\u003c\/i\u003e by Oasis.

In 1994\/95, the outside world came into sync with his fondness for The Jam, Sly Stone, Hendrix, The Beatles, the Stones, The Small Faces, Motown, Stax, glam rock, punk rock and all other points on the compass of rock’n’roll cool, which coalesced into what became known as Britpop. And while those influences are in ‘Déjà Voodoo’ for all to hear, the album is far from derivative; this is a collection of well-constructed pop songs that still retain their swagger and zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - Unavailable since it was first released on Creation Records in 1996, this 2CD 25th Anniversary Edition set presented in an attractive A5 book includes the original 12 track album, plus a second CD of 15 B-Sides, bonus tracks and rarities, all previously un-reissued, including a blistering version of The Jam’s 'The Gift’, recorded for the long out of print ‘Fire and Skill’ tribute album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew sleeve notes are included from respected journalist, author, broadcaster and one-time Mojo editor Pat Gilbert from new interviews with Gem Archer, and the set also includes rarely seen photographs from acclaimed photographer Andy Willsher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demon","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50455241621835,"sku":"1125169","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50455242178891,"sku":"1125171","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/30d3f9bb-4c87-44a1-b665-7f3c224f9ef4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727189652","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/deja-voodoo-25th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
