DESCRIPTION:
1998 Indie Rock/ Brit Pop LP Repressed - Shed Seven's third album, Let It Ride, gets a 180g vinyl re-issue, the first time the album has been made available on LP since its initial release, replicating the original 1998 Polydor pressing
Packed with catchy melodies and memorable hooks, it captures the band's confident and upbeat sound. This 180g vinyl re-issue, the first time the album has been made available on LP since its initial release, replicates the original 1998 Polydor pressing.Originally issued on Polydor Records in June 1998, Let It Ride built on the enormous popularity of 1996's A Maximun High, propelling the York-based indie four piece back into the UK Top 10.Let It Ride is the view from the summit of Shed Seven's first years of fame released nearly two years after A Maximum High, the album was trailed first by "Chasing Rainbows" in November 1996, a Top 20 UK hit and arguably their most celebrated anthem. It was the first of the album's four singles the Britpop/Baggy joy of "She Left Me On Friday" (No 11 in March 1998) followed; the arms-in-the-air power balladry of "The Heroes" (No 18), concluding with that August's reflective "Devil In Your Shoes".Produced by Stephen Street, Chris Sheldon and Dave Leaper, Let It Ride was partially recorded in the legendary Olympic Studios in Barnes. It finds the group stretching out, using drum machines and string sections, with songs like the country-influenced "A Hole" and the almost-metal of opener "Return". "There's songs on this album that have the ability to become classic songs, like The Beatles, like The Stones," guitarist Paul Banks said at the time a bold claim, but then, listen to "Chasing Rainbows", and the melancholy closer "Goodbye" to understand where he was coming from.

Last FM Information on Shed Seven
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Shed Seven are a band from York, England who formed in 1990. Their popularity peaked in the mid-1990's during the Britpop boom with their most popular songs, including Chasing Rainbows, Going For Gold, Getting Better and Disco Down, all reaching the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart.
The band split in December 2003, but not before a farewell tour which culminated in a final hometown show. The split was amicable and came about due to disagreements with their record company about their musical direction.
In 2005, they released a posthumous collection of demos for what would have been their fifth studio album. whilst the band members themselves began their own separate projects, including frontman Rick Witter, who went on to form Rick Witter and The Dukes .
However, in 2007 the band reunited for what was to become a sell out tour of the UK, and their most successful to date. The re-formed line up included all of the original members, including both of their former guitarists, Joe Johnson and Paul Banks. Although the 2007 tour was intended as a one-off reunion, the band remained together and were seen performing at several UK festivals during the summer of 2008. It was announced in mid-2009, shortly before a one-off headlining performance at the Tartan Heart Festival, that the band would again undergo a tour during December 2009 - they also revealed that they had been working on new songs, though none of these were played during the 2009 tour. The band classed their 18 date 2009 tour as 'their most successful and enjoyable so far'.
The band have announced a number of high profile summer festival appearances for 2010 including V Festival, T In The Park and Oxegen.
