Carnival of Light: Transparent Green Double Vinyl LP

Label: Wichita Records
Release Date: 4th August

A bit of a blacksheep in the Ride discography as the band went full-on Byrdsian jangle with elements of Love and bringing a more technicolor psychedelic approach. For this shopkeeper it features some of their most satisfying songs.

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.
