Deluxe edition, double CD version of the remastered and re-packaged PHUQ,
featuring a 2-disc CD in jewel case with special velvet slip case, and booklet
featuring band anecdotes and unseen Danny Deen artwork, who produced the
original PHUQ artwork, in the original double album format it was always
intended to be.
It's been given the Dave Draper treatment, to bring its sound bang up-to-date.
Ginger describes the album:
"PHUQ was written, rehearsed and recorded as a double album. Our debut was a
single record, our follow up would be a double, illustrating the ambition of
the band and setting us on a very unique trajectory. Typically, for a corporate
label, East West records wanted to take the road of least imagination. They
ditched all the longer songs and tried to cobble together as close a copy to
the first album, from a bunch of songs intended to appear together. The result
was a fucking mess and our career was one of unrealized potential and
diminishing returns.
I am proud to present the album as it was originally conceived."
Ripper's Notes:
The only thing that differs from the standard edition re-issue and this deluxe
edition is the packaging, the standard in the world's worst packaging, a digi-
pack. The discs themselves are identical.
To a Wildhearts' fan, none of these tracks are new, just re-presented in their
intended manner. The new mastering is fantastic, too.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
