Blue Vinyl - National Album Day
£25.00
To tie in with National Album Day on 18th October, Demon Records will be reissuing The Mission’s BLUE album which is available on a suitably moody ‘Drown in Blue’ blend effect vinyl.
This limited release is available to pre-order immediately from us and will be released on the above date.
For this release ‘Coming Home's B-sides ‘Perfect Sunrise’ and ‘Coming Home (Godlike Version)’ have been added to the track-list on vinyl for the first time.
Originally released in 1996, the sixth studio album from The Mission saw the band in roaring form producing what many consider to be the sonically and lyrically rawest release in their entire oeuvre… but only Wayne knew it would be their last.
While touring ‘Blue’ at the end of 1996 he sensationally stunned fans by announcing that the band were to be dissolved. While The Mission did rise again, phoenix-like, three years later, ‘Blue’ represented the closing of Chapter 1 of the band’s story.
Mostly written and composed in the city of Bath and recorded in Bristol, ‘Blue’ produced a thunderous single with the gripping ‘Coming Home’ and boasted other highlights such as ‘That Tears Shall Drown the Wind’ and ‘Drown in Blue’.
Please order this release direct from from us at www.themissionmerch.com to support the band whilst they are on this lengthy hiatus and whilst you are there, we have added some great new items based around what would have been this year’s North American Tour.
Thanks for your ongoing support, it is hugely appreciated.
Keep the faith.
