Blue Skies and Freerides [Import]

Repressing. UK compilation from the British indie band consisting of tracks from their Creation Records catalog. Forged in 1986 from the ashes of the Loft, The Weather Prophets straddled the divide between post-Postcard guitar jangle and a more robust strain rock and roll classicism. With a track listing chosen by lead singer Pete Astor and including the Top 10 indie chart hits 'I Almost Prayed', 'Naked As the Day You Were Born', 'Hollow Heart' and 'Always the Light', Blue Skies presents an excellent opportunity for some long overdue historical revisionism.
