'Brothers & Sisters' 25th Anniversary Edition Gatefold Double BioVinyl 7" Single

$32.00

Release Date: Nov 15, 2024

Discs: 2

- Gatefold double 7" vinyl pressed on blue and pink colour BioVinyl
- Silver laminate sleeve 
- Hot foil embossed colour inner sleeves
- Exclusive for vinyl 'The Story of Brothers & Sisters' by Simon Williams (Fierce Panda Records) 

The original ‘Brothers & Sisters’ release was a two-track 7” (‘Brothers & Sisters’ and ‘Easy To Please’) and a three track CD single, with ‘Only Superstition’ as the third song which, while not included on the original 7" vinyl release, appears on this special 25th anniversary edition. The release captured the essence of a young band, defining their sound and finding their fanbase. The three songs cost £450 to record and it roared to number 92 in the charts.

As a curious bonus, the fourth track on the EP is a new addition, ‘The Story of Brothers & Sisters'. This is a spoken word excerpt lifted from the audiobook of ‘Pandamonium! How Not To Run A Record Label’ by Fierce Panda founder Simon Williams. In ‘Knee-Trembler’ (Chapter 17, pages159-168) he describes in raffishly intimate detail the how's, why's and wherefores of Coldplay’s early days shaking the timbers of the Camden Falcon, the Kentish Town Bull & Gate and Station Studios in Southgate, as well as being championed by Radio One’s Evening Session and getting their first reviews in the NME newspaper on their way to ‘Brothers & Sisters’, their debut release.
