double cd version that includes the 'dixie narco' ep. to mark the 20th anniversary of this landmark record, the band have re-mastered the album with the help of their longtime friend and occasional collaborator, kevin shields of my bloody valentine. since its release in september 1991, the inaugural mercury prize winning record has influenced countless bands and artists, been widely acclaimed by critics as one of the defining records of the 1990's and as one of the most inventive albums of its generation - the album had a huge effect on 90s popular culture, bringing acid house and rock n roll to a unified mainstream audience that had until that point been disparate and underground.
