Ride have announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their 1990 debut album, Nowhere.
The CD/DVD release includes an expanded fifteen-track edition of the album as well as a DVD recording of a 1991 concert at London’s Town & Country Club.
Says Bell, “We were really driven, within the band, to improve on the songwriting, performances and production of the first two EPs, and create something special, an album which stood for our aesthetic and had a real artistic integrity.”
Drummer Loz Colbert added: “When we’d completed the album and it was all mixed and mastered, it seemed like we’d arrived, we’d made it… and what did that feel like? Nowhere.”
The album reached Number 11 in the UK charts. The new edition will be presented in a hardback cardboard case with a canvas-style cover, and include a 36-page booklet full of unseen photos and brand new sleeve notes written by Bell, compiled using the help of Ride fans via a Twitter Q&A.
