Formed in 1981, The Blue Aeroplanes are Bristol’s longest-running band and a true art-rock institution who have inspired countless post-punk and alternative groups, including R.E.M., Radiohead, and Manic Street Preachers. ‘Beatsongs’ was first released in 1991 and became their highest charting album, featuring standout tracks such as ‘Yr Own World’, ‘Fun’, ‘Colour Me’, and ‘The Boy In The Bubble’ (a cover of the Paul Simon classic). After being out-of-print on vinyl for over three decades, the band has curated this new Record Store Day edition. It includes a newly remastered version of ‘Beatsongs’ (using the original production masters), plus B-sides from the era on side four. Pressed on two 140g clear vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with newly expanded artwork including lyrics, photos, and liner notes.
