2023 UK limited edition 8-track 2LP vinyl-set. The songs on disc two are previously unreleased. On BLUE MATTER RECORDS label. Catalogue No: LOBE 006. Barcode: 2090505338454.
The Long Stuff was originally released in 2002 as a limited edition CD. There were just 110 copies pressed and sold to the members of the then online 'Bevis Frond Community.' Since then it has never been reissued in any format. The album was a collection of unreleased tracks from Nick Saloman's archive, but what tied this lot together was that all of the tracks (bar one) were rather lengthy. When assembling this album for a double vinyl release, it required some extra music to fill four sides of vinyl. So what you have here are two sides taken from the original CD and a further two sides of previously unheard epics. These tracks were recorded between 1995 and 2020, and feature songs performed by Nick Saloman alone, and others with a full band. Some are home demos, while some are studio recordings. There's also one mammoth live recording. Other musicians featured are Adrian Shaw, Andy Ward, Paul Simmons and Dave Pearce. So to all those who don't go for long, self-indulgent workouts, you're not going to like this album. But for those who do... WOW!
