The Story
| Release Date: | 15/12/2023 |
| Format: | 2LP Black |
| Label: | Space Age Recordings |
| Catalogue Number: | ORBIT082LP |
Space Age Recordings are pleased to announce the release of, for the first time ever on vinyl, Spacemen 3 âForged Prescriptionsâ.
Featuring Sonic Boom a.k.a. Peter Kember (Spectrum, E.A.R.) and Jason Pierce (Spiritualized). Packaged in a gatefold sleeve with a new take on the original artwork layout. The audio has been digitally remastered by John Rivers at Woodbine Studios and spans across two 180g Heavyweight Black vinyl to ensure the purest of sound quality. This is definitely one for the collection.
This double album contains a myriad of alternative takes and demo versions from Spacemen 3âs album âThe Perfect Prescriptionâ Including, at the time of the CD release, some never before heard tracks. In his liner notes, Spacemen 3âs Sonic Boom says this release presents the albumâs songs in their âfull guitar laden versions with all the layers of beautifully streamlined guitar â considered by us to be too hard to replicate live and therefore reduced for the original release.â âFor me, this is where Spacemen 3 song writing came to a head â many of these songs pre-dated âSound Of Confusionâ, some were even recorded at both sessions, but I am still impressed mightily by Jasonâs lyrical genius on originals like âWalking With Jesusâ and re-writes like âCome Down Easyâ and his fluid guitar playing across the whole sessions. To be sure âPlaying With Fireâ was soon to be our long and sultry Indian Summer but âPerfect Prescriptionâ was the progeny of that hot, lazy (and occasionally rainy) summer.â Sonic Boom.
