Search - Boo Radleys :: Giant Steps

Digitally remastered and expanded three CD edition of the Britpop band's 1993 album including all of their b-sides and singles released around the time of the album. Giant Steps was the third album by the Boo Radleys. NME and Select named it as Album Of The Year. It reached the UK Top 20, but did not spawn a Top 40 single. The Boo Radleys were never comfortable fitting into any of the easily defined categories that pigeonholed so many British bands in the early 1990s. Living up to its title, the album is indeed a step above and away both from what their peers were doing and what was expected of the band themselves. The album is a cornucopia of varying influences, from the Smiths-y 'Wish I Was Skinny' to the lovely brass arrangement in 'Lazarus'. This re-issue brings together all the b-sides and singles from around the time into one great triple CD. Cherry Red
