RICHARD ASHCROFT - Human Conditions - Vinyl

Richard Ashcroft – Human Conditions (180g Double Vinyl Reissue)

Originally released in 2002 | 2025 audiophile reissue | Gatefold sleeve

The epic second solo album from Richard Ashcroft returns on audiophile 180g double vinyl, faithfully replicating the original 2002 UK pressing. First released via Hut Records, Human Conditions built on the soaring success of Alone With Everybody, offering a deeply introspective and cinematic listening experience.

Opening with the eight-minute spiritual anthem “Check The Meaning”, the album sees Ashcroft grapple with themes of love, faith, and resilience. From the haunting intimacy of “Buy It In Bottles” to the widescreen uplift of “Bright Lights” and “Paradise”, this is a record that walks the line between soul-searching balladry and anthemic rock.

Featuring a rare guest appearance by Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) on the beautiful closing track “Nature Is The Law”, Human Conditions is a sweeping, emotionally charged statement from one of Britain’s finest songwriters.
