Following the now sold-out first box set of Porcupine Tree’s ‘Delerium Years’, Kscope are re-releasing the band’s records from the era, including ‘On The Sunday Of Life’, as a series of LPs presented in gatefold packaging. This edition of the classic record has been remastered by Steven Wilson and uses the original analogue tapes rather than the digital copies made in the early 90’s used for all previous editions. Kscope are releasing ‘On The Sunday Of Life’ as a double LP pressed on to 180g heavyweight vinyl.

With acid warped lyrics courtesy of Alan Duffy (the brains behind the late lamented Imaginary Records label) the album is a surreal delight containing gems such as “Jupiter Island” and “Linton Samuel Dawson” filled with quirky melodies, effected vocals and trippy backwards guitar work. “Nine Cats”, the undoubted masterpiece of the album, is pure Edward Lear styled psychedelia.

‘On The Sunday Of Life’ also hints at the direction the band would later take with more progressive influenced material such as the epic “Radioactive Toy”.
