Tarantula: Vinyl LP

Label: Wichita Records
Release Date: 4th August

The final album of Phase One of Ride, by this time they're a band of so many different influences, whether it's garage rock, sunshining baggy rock n roll soul, jangle pop or just straight up rock. Tarantula clearly represents a band with too many ideas to be contained in one unit.

*Despite the sticker on the product advertising 'orange vinyl', this record is a Black Vinyl LP

Following their ‘Nowhere’ 30^th anniversary UK tour last year, shoegaze legends Ride release two more titles of their early classic albums ‘Tarantula’ and ‘Carnival of Light’ via Wichita Recordings. These follow last year’s reissues of ‘Nowhere’, ‘4EPs’, and ‘Going Blank Again’ from their days on Creation Records.

‘Carnival of Light’ the band’s third album is repressed in transparent glow in the dark green double vinyl, and comes with a 12x12 insert, as well as CD format. ‘Tarantula’ the fourth and final album before their split is released on limited edition transparent orange vinyl and CD, and includes three bonus tracks. All the original audio has been reworked and refined, the reissues will also be available on CD from the 4th of August.
