    THE ICONIC #1 DEBUT ALBUM FROM BRITISH LEGENDS MANSUN CELEBRATED WITH 21st ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDITION

    FOLLOWING EX-FRONTMAN PAUL DRAPER'S SOLO SUCCESS AND UK TOUR WITH 'ATTACK OF THE GREY LANTERN'

    Mansun was one of the most iconic and innovative British bands of the late 90s with Parlophone. They released four classic albums – 'Attack of the Grey Lantern' (1997), 'Six' (1998), 'Little Kix' (2000) and the compilation 'Kleptomania' following the band's split – as well as a popular and now rare series of EPs. Kscope, having now acquired this impressive catalogue, are running a thorough reissue series that delves into a treasure trove of previously unreleased audio and visual material, including the much-awaited full remaster of their #1 album 'Attack of the Grey Lantern'.

    The band's output launched them into a fervent cult following, which now holds the annual UK Mansun Convention and started the petition that called for frontman Paul Draper to release his debut solo album 'Spooky Action' in August 2017. The solo album, also released on Kscope, hit #19 in the UK album charts and led to a sold-out UK solo tour, during which he performed Mansun's definitive and most popular track "Wide Open Space", and its live recording features on Draper's new live album 'Live at Scala'. Due to fan-driven popular demand, Paul then played an ambitious second solo tour in early 2018, performing 'Spooky Action' as well as 'Attack of the Grey Lantern'.

    This 21st anniversary edition of 'Attack of the Grey Lantern' will be released as a CD in mediabook packaging featuring the iconic 'roses' cover art and a 16-page booklet including lyrics. These have been re-mastered by Jon Astley (The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Anathema).

    THE ICONIC #1 DEBUT ALBUM FROM BRITISH LEGENDS MANSUN IS NOW AVAILABLE ON SINGLE VINYL LP. Reissued in limited quantities for RSD 2022 & quickly selling out, Kscope are now proud to issue this album on black vinyl.

    Originally released in February 1997, the Platinum selling 'Attack Of The Grey Lantern' debuted at Number 1 in the UK album chart & included the hit singles 'Wide Open Space', 'She Makes My Nose Bleed', 'Taxloss' & 'Stripper Vicar'.

    Mansun were one of the most iconic & innovative British bands of the late 90's. They released four classic albums – 'Attack Of The Grey Lantern' (1997), 'Six' (1998), 'Little Kix' (2000) & the compilation 'Kleptomania' (2004).

    As Draper puts it "The Grey Lantern is like a comic-book hero – the album is about this village of people with really disgusting morals & the Grey Lantern sorts them out. I suppose the Grey Lantern's me. I wouldn't have a cape, but there are definitely characters on the record – Albert Taxloss, Chad, Dark Mavis. At the end of the album, it all gets resolved & you find Mavis is actually the Stripper Vicar."

    Frontman Paul Draper released his new solo album 'Cult Leader Tactics' in January 2022. Kscope are proud to present 'Attack Of The Grey Lantern' on Standard Black LP.
