The Lilac Time Astronauts 3CD Deluxe Ltd. Edition. NEW SEALED OOP RARE
Over three years in the making, Needle Mythology Records is delighted to announce a super deluxe, expanded remastered reissue of The Lilac Time's 1991 masterpiece, Astronauts. Released as a triple CD only 1000 copies of each format will be produced, there will be no further pressings. Comes with an extensive 11,000 word oral history of Astronauts and liner notes by Needle Mythology co-founder and longtime Stephen Duffy fan, Pete Paphides. A 2024 remaster of the "Astronauts" album. A collection of works in progress entitled "Softened By Rain: The Making Of Astronauts".
A live compilation "Any Road Up: The Lilac Time Live 1990/91". All material has been mastered for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. Release housed in a triple gatefold sleeve with a colour inner sleeve and new artwork for each disc, which has been especially created by designer Mike Storey. The main sleeve for Astronauts itself will replicate the original artwork but with the four distinctive "blobs" rendered in a red "foil" texture. With the shoegaze and baggy movements at their zenith, The Lilac Time's fourth album was released at a moment when the left-field music zeitgeist was shaped by the nascent shoegaze, baggy and grunge movements.
Whilst Astronauts conformed to none of those trends, neither was it the record Stephen had in his head when he finally finished working on it. We'll never know how that record would have sounded, but it's hard to imagine a better version of the album he did end up making.
