OCEAN COLOUR SCENE

Two of Ocean Colour Scene's key albums are being reissued as Deluxe Edition for February 4th, 2014.

Ocean Colour Scene (Deluxe) Universal Music

First up is their self-titled debut album, which was originally released on October 1992. The deluxe edition will be remastered from the original tapes with updated artwork (featuring some rare photos and memorabilia) and a new liner notes by Mojo's Lois Wilson and a new interview with the band.

As with many of these deluxe editions, a second bonus disc will include b-sides and alternate sessions.

The other deluxe reissue is Marchin' Already, which went straight to #1 on the British charts (thanks to strong hit singles like "Travellers Tune", "It's A Beautiful Thing" and "Hundred Mile City"). Again, the songs have been remastered from the original source tapes and a bonus disc of b-sides, live tracks, demos, sessions, etc.

Also, if you've got the money to spend, there is another version of Marchin' Already Deluxe Edition which includes a DVD featuring a live performance from Live At Stirling Castle gig (August 1998), along with a concert poster. Since I've been burned many times importing these things - I am going to assume the DVD is region locked to Region 2 (which means it won't play in U.S. DVD players). Even if it's not region locked, there are technical differences between NTSC and PAL format, so buyers be warned.

Trivia: Moseley Shoals was already issued as a deluxe edition in 2011, so it's not included in this release.

Secret Colours' Positive Distractions Part I is coming out tomorrow, Tuesday, February 4th. Expect Positive Distractions Part II to come out April 29, 2014, to mark Secret Colours return to Texas for 2014's Austin Psych Fest.

In the meantime, you can hear the latest single, "City Slicker" can be heard on soundcloud.com.



The psych band, which was at one point a six-piece band, but is now a four-piece, featuring Tommy Evans (vocalist/guitarist), Justin Frederick (drummer), Eric Hehr (bass) and Mike Novak (guitar). Although only Austin Psych Fest and SXSW are announced, expect the band to tour around March and April.

If you are heading to Austin Psych Fest, expect to find both Positive Distractions Part I & Part II to be available on vinyl and cassettes. Yes, you read that right, cassettes. The format that will not die.
