🔥 Thud is the cult solo masterpiece from late multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Kevin Gilbert, originally released in 1995 and reissued in 2015 on 180g double vinyl in a limited run of just 1000 copies. Pressed and remastered from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray, this 20th Anniversary edition includes three bonus tracks and liner insights into Gilbert’s brilliant, tragic legacy. A prog-pop essential blending the melodic flair of XTC with the emotional depth of early Genesis and lyrical bite of Roger Waters. Near impossible to find sealed or unplayed. This copy is absolutely pristine.

Tracklist Highlights

• Joytown – sarcastic, anthemic, and unshakably catchy

• Song for a Dead Friend – devastating and intimate

• Shadow Self – layered, psychological pop with King Crimson vibes

• Goodness Gracious – angry, urgent commentary wrapped in hooks
