AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB PIECE OF WORK - CONSISTENTLY VOTED ONE OF THE GREATEST BRITISH LPs OF ALL TIME

Since the Stone Roses were the nominal leaders of Britain's "Madchester" scene -- an indie rock phenomenon that fused guitar pop with drug-fueled rave and dance culture -- it's rather ironic that their eponymous debut only hints at dance music. What made the Stone Roses important was how they welcomed dance and pop together, treating them as if they were the same beast. Equally important was the Roses' cool, detached arrogance, which was personified by Ian Brown's nonchalant vocals. Brown's effortless malevolence is brought to life with songs that equal both his sentiments and his voice -- "I Wanna Be Adored," with it's creeping bassline and waves of cool guitar hooks, doesn't demand adoration, it just expects it. Similarly, Brown can claim "I Am the Resurrection" and lie back, as if there were no room for debate. But the key to The Stone Roses is John Squire's layers of simple, exceedingly catchy hooks and how the rhythm section of Reni and Mani always imply dance rhythms without overtly going into the disco. On "She Bangs the Drums" and "Elephant Stone," the hooks wind into the rhythm inseparably -- the '60s hooks and the rolling beats manage to convey the colorful, neo-psychedelic world of acid house. Squire's riffs are bright and catchy, recalling the British Invasion while suggesting the future with their phased, echoey effects. The Stone Roses was a two-fold revolution -- it brought dance music to an audience that was previously obsessed with droning guitars, while it revived the concept of classic pop songwriting, and the repercussions of its achievement could be heard throughout the '90s, even if the Stone Roses could never achieve this level of brilliance again.

Track Listing:
Side One: I Wanna Be Adored / She Bangs The Drums
Side Two: Waterfall / Don't Stop / Bye Bye Badman
Side Three: Elizabeth My Dear / (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister / Made Of Stone / Shoot You Down
Side Four: This Is The One / I Am The Resurrection


LABELS: The labels are CLEAN and BRIGHT. Record One has moderate spindles but Record Two has only seen light play and has very few
VINYL Visual: All surfaces have their original DEEP, almost LIKE-NEW, GLOSSY SHEEN and are practically UNMARKED
VINYL Audio: The audio is absolutely OUTSTANDING - CRYSTAL CLEAR, POWERFUL, RICH and VIBRANT. There are NO scratches, NO sticks, NO jumps - sounds ABSOLUTELY SUBERB and NEVER SOUNDED BETTER. TREMENDOUS QUALITY AUDIO. The album plays to an extremely high standard with NO groove-wear and NO distortion. Must be critically graded NEAR MINT as the playback is virtually FLAWLESS and NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'about me' page)
SLEEVE: The numbered, matte GATEFOLD sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition. CLEAN and UNMARKED with a nice THICK SPINE with clear text. There is some storage rubbing to the top and bottom edges but nothing major. GREAT SLEEVE
