The Bevis Frond The Long Stuff 2LP

The Long Stuff was originally issued in 2003 as a CD-only limited edition of 110 copies for members of 'The Bevis Frond Online Community.' It comprised a select batch of lengthy, previously unissued tracks. Some of these were home demos featuring just Frond frontman Nick Saloman on all instruments and vocals. There was also an unused track recorded for the 1995 album Superseeder featuring Ade Shaw on bass and Andy Ward on drums. Since then, The Long Stuff has never been reissued in any format. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that Blue Matter are re-releasing it for the first time, and now as a vinyl double album. Due to certain circumstances, one of the original tracks could not be used, so that has been replaced by a different unheard demo called "Here's a Little Love Song." Also, Blue Matter has added three further unissued tracks: another home demo called "Skyline Commander," plus a leftover song from the sessions for the recently released Little Eden album called "Yet Another"; finally, Blue Matter felt compelled to add a storming 24-minute live version of the classic track "Superseded" recorded at Cardigan's Doctor Sardonicus festival in 2019. So, to sum up, the first album of this double set features all bar one of the tracks that were previously on the original Long Stuff CD in 2003, while the second album entirely comprises previously unreleased material. The LP will be housed in a full-color sleeve. Hopefully, this will be a more-than-welcome addition to any self-respecting Frond fan's collection.
