The Hour Of Bewilderbeast 15th Anniversary Badly Drawn Boy SKU: TNXLLP695 Barcode: 634904069513 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings Released Date: 19th January 2016 Buying Format: 2LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info To celebrate the 15th anniversary of his seminal, magical, Mercury-prize winning debut, Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) is re-releasing a new deluxe version of the album, including bonus unheard tracks (on the double CD version) and new artwork. The re-release follows this summer’s UK tour, where Gough played the classic album in its entirety for the first time ever, to standing ovations from sell-out crowds including The Barbican and Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall. “It’s an album that I’m extremely proud of,” says Damon, “and it’s the album that people will mention if they stop me in the street, or come up to me in a bar. It’s an album that struck a chord with a lot of people, and still means a lot to them… which is what you’re aiming to do with music.” Released in May 2000 to widespread acclaim, ‘The Hour Of Bewilderbeast’ beat other shortlisted nominees including Coldplay, Doves, Leftfield and Richard Ashcroft to that year’s Mercury Music Prize. Like all great debuts, it captured the zeitgeist of the moment, managing that rare feat of sounding both completely of its time, and utterly timeless. The album went platinum and Damon was then asked to write the soundtrack the film of Nick Hornby’s book ‘About A Boy’, which became a huge hit. He went on to release eight studio albums over 12 years, before taking a break over the last couple of years and now he’s back with a fresh focus. It’s an album that shouldn’t really work on paper, a bewildering assortment of leftfield folk ditties, poetic shanties, experimental passages and nocturnal piano ballads, some recorded in bedrooms, some in studios, with a myriad of different oddball production techniques, and numerous personnel playing most instruments known to man, and several not. However, underpinned by the genius songwriting of Damon Gough and his intuitive ear for melody, it worked beautifully, and charmed a generation of music critics and music lovers. Damon arrived fully formed yet badly drawn, an overnight success which had taken years, simultaneously a little shambolic and in possession of grand vision, somehow both cocksure and yet self-doubting, all of which only endured him to a public growing tired of the over-polished sheen of late 90s. Andy Votel has updated his classic artwork, loosely based on Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Vitruvian Man’, for the re-release. “I’m very fond of the cover,” says Damon. “It sums up the time as much as the music does. The gatefold vinyl will have the original artwork and when you open it up there’s a new version which reflects everything that’s happened in the last 15 years.” Artist Badly Drawn Boy Genre Rock And Pop Label XL Recordings Buying Options 2LP Includes Download Code Format 2LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings The Shining Everybody’s Stalking Bewilder Fall In The River Camping Next To Water Stone On The Water Another Pearl Body Rap Once Around The Block This Song Bewilderbeast Magic In The Air Cause The Rockslide Pissing In The Wind Blistered Heart Disillusion Say It Again Epitaph Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Badly Drawn Boy and more from Rock And Pop Nearly New View Product Quick View Badly Drawn Boy Pissin In The Wind Rock And Pop | Twisted Nerve | 10", Single Released 4th January 2024 £6.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Badly Drawn Boy Pissin In The Wind £6.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Twisted Nerve SKU: nn278487 Formats: 10", Single Released Date: 4th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Paul's picks View Product Quick View Badly Drawn Boy Banana Skin Shoes Rock And Pop | One Last Fruit Records | 1LP Released 22nd May 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Badly Drawn Boy Banana Skin Shoes £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Last Fruit Records SKU: OLF005LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Badly Drawn Boy About A Boy Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 1LP Released 12th October 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Badly Drawn Boy About A Boy £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: TNXLLP152 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Badly Drawn Boy The Hour Of Bewilderbeast Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 3LP Released 9th December 2015 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Badly Drawn Boy The Hour Of Bewilderbeast £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: TNXLLP695X Formats: 3LP Released Date: 9th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skygreen Leopards Family Crimes Rock And Pop | Woodsist | 1LP Released 7th July 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skygreen Leopards Family Crimes £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Woodsist SKU: WOODSIST073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later Rocket Fuel Rock And Pop | Repertoire | 1LP Released 11th April 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later Rocket Fuel £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Repertoire SKU: V219 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marlody I’m Not Sure At All Rock And Pop | Skep Wax Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 31st March 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marlody I’m Not Sure At All £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Skep Wax Records SKU: SKEPWAX009LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hum Downwards Is Heavenward (Reissue) Rock And Pop | Polyvinyl | 2LP Released 8th December 2023 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hum Downwards Is Heavenward (Reissue) £38.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polyvinyl SKU: EAR3LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Said The Whale Cascadia Rock And Pop | Arts & Crafts | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th February 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Said The Whale Cascadia £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Arts & Crafts SKU: AC164LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Usher Coming Home Rock And Pop | mega/gamma. | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th February 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Usher Coming Home £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: mega/gamma.
