LIGHTNING SEEDS - 35th anniversary EP on Yellow Vinyl - RSD24

In 1989, Ian Broudie embarked on an exhilarating new journey in his music career, departing from his successful roles as a producer and musician to establish his own project, the Lightning Seeds. Their debut single, "Pure," marked a pivotal moment as it signaled Ian's inaugural venture into songwriting and lead vocals. Surpassing all expectations, "Pure" swiftly ascended to become their very first UK Top 20 hit, thrusting Ian into newfound acclaim.

Reflecting on the profound impact of "Pure," Ian acknowledges its transformative role in shaping his artistic odyssey: "I owe everything to 'Pure.' I’ll always be grateful for it. This song has been a miraculous, life-changing event for me." Against all odds and devoid of prior infrastructure, its success defied expectations, forever altering Ian's trajectory within the music industry. As the Lightning Seeds commemorate the 35th anniversary of this monumental release, Ian is thrilled to pay homage to the occasion with a special limited edition 10" yellow vinyl.

This exclusive release encompasses four tracks, all recorded in 1989, beckoning listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the roots of the Lightning Seeds. Alongside the iconic "Pure," fans will rediscover gems like "All I Want," initially released as a single in 1990, as well as "The Nearly Man" and "Flaming Sword," each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of the Lightning Seeds' early repertoire.
