OVERVIEW
The Stone Roses occupy a unique place in British music history. Formed in Manchester in 1983, the band fused the
melodic sensibilities of 1960s pop with the energy of post-punk, creating a sound that helped define the late-1980s
Madchester movement and influenced generations of artists that followed. Their self-titled debut album, The Stone
Roses (1989), is widely regarded as one of the greatest British albums ever recorded, cementing their position as
visionary pioneers in modern music history.
This three-disc collection celebrates the band's remarkable legacy through a carefully curated selection of broadcast
recordings from across their career. Featuring seminal live performances captured at the height of their powers
alongside rare demo recordings and early versions of many of their most beloved songs, these recordings offer a
fascinating insight into the development of one of Britain's most influential bands.
MARKETING & PROMOTION / SELLING POINTS
• First up on DISC ONE is the electrifying live performance The Stone Roses delivered at the Town and Country
Club in Leeds in December 1995. Drawn from their Second Coming (1994) era, the show captures the band in
top form, powering through material from both their landmark debut and the then-recently released Second
Coming.
• DISC TWO features two broadcasts from 1989, the first recorded at Manchester's legendary Haçienda and
the second at Nippon Seinenkan in Tokyo. Recorded in the same year that The Stone Roses was released, the
performances on this disc find the band at the peak of their critical and commercial success, tearing through
album tracks and early singles with aplomb.
• Closing the set on DISC THREE is a collection of previously unreleased demo sessions, all of which differ from
those included on subsequent reissues of their debut album. Featuring early radio sessions, rehearsal demos,
alternate versions and even recordings by the proto-Roses outfit The Waterfront, this collection of demos
and rarities is an invaluable document, chronicling the genesis of the future classics that would ultimately
appear on their eponymous debut.
