  • Description

    During the ‘80s Felt made ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels.

    The ten albums will be released 18 February 2022.

    These records have been remastered and revisited by Lawrence.

    These new editions follow the elaborate CD and vinyl re-issue campaign and allows the most casual listener with limited shelf space to explore the world of Lawrence and Felt.

    Much like a Penguin paperback which updates its covers for each new generation of fans, these beautiful editions are as always designed by the Shanghai Packaging Company.

    Ignite The Seven Cannons

    Produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and featuring the skyscraping vocal of Elizabeth Fraser on the mighty ‘Primitive Painters’. Felt found themselves at the top of the independent charts. Unhappy with the overall sound though – it was as if some of Lawrence’s best songs were lost in an “ethereal swirl”.

    John A Rivers has been given access to the original master tapes and six songs have been remixed. Also – side two has been focused, edited and “made symmetrical”. Finally, these songs can be heard as intended by Felt. It has become at long last a cohesive whole.

    Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe and Lawrence

    Anyone who's been living on the grapevine these past few years must have heard the rumours about the coming of the FELT reissues - well they're finally here. During the '80's Felt made ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels. This beautifully produced series examines the work of one of the greatest underground groups of modern times. The first five albums will be released on 23rd February 2018. These vinyl records, unavailable for many years, have been remastered and revisited by Lawrence, and he has fashioned the ultimate definitive collections. They are available in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. Produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and featuring the skyscraping vocal of Elizabeth Fraser on the mighty Primitive Painters. Felt found themselves at the top of the independent charts. Unhappy with the overall sound though - it was as if some of Lawrence's best songs were lost in an "ethereal swirl." John A.
