Steeltown: Vinyl LP

In 1981, ex - Skids guitarist Stuart Adamson founded Big Country with Bruce Watson. From 1982, Tony Butler and Mark Brzezicki joined the rhythm section. Big Country blended punk, new wave, and new romantic elements into passionate Celtic - slanted heavy pop/rock. Adamson and Watson used effects on their guitars to mimic traditional Scottish instruments, creating a unique and influential sound. Many bands emulated them within a year of their first release, but none quite matched Big Country. 'Steeltown', a critique of 80s industrial collapse, was inspired by Corby in the East Midlands. Recorded at ABBA's POLAR Studios in Stockholm and produced by Steve Lillywhite, it was the group's only UK No.1 album, preceded by the Top 20 single 'East Of Eden'. James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers loves this album. This re - issue replicates the 1984 UK Mercury Records release with a gatefold sleeve and is pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle onto the groove, and let the music play. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the album in its gatefold sleeve when not in use to protect it. If the vinyl gets dirty, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it in a circular motion. With proper care, this high - quality 180g vinyl will provide you with many hours of great music.
