Search - Spiritualized :: The Complete Works Volume 1

Import pressing of this ace collection that is deleted everywhere in the world. This compilation of rare and previously unreleased material has been personally selected by Spiritualized frontman Jason Pierce. Twenty four tracks from various singles and EPsencompassing the first three years of the band's history. Includes their first 7" single 'Anyway That You Want Me', 'Feel So Sad' 'Lay Back In The Sun' and the band's 1993 'Electric Mainline EP'. Complete Works, Vol. 1 begins in the midst of the band's dissolution, with Pierce's 6«-minute Troggs cover "Any Way That You Want Me", recorded at the same time as the tracks the ended up on Recurring. The track is the perfect lead-in for this set, which compiles long out-of-print material from what might be the best psychedelic rock band since the 60's... As a concise document of Jason Pierce's transition from Spaceman to blissed-out preacher, Complete Works, Vol. 1 is an invaluable addition to your Spiritualized collection, but it works as an excellent survey for the uninitiated as well, who might not realize how much and how many Britpop acts (and... Radiohead) are to this day indebted to one of Britain's best-ever pure rock and roll bands - Pitchfork review.
