Order ‘1977’ splatter vinyl here: https://ashband.lnk.to/1977ID

Ash’s debut LP ‘1977’ has been reissued for the first time on stunning black and white splatter vinyl. This spectacular debut release was a defining record for 90s guitar music, reaching No.1 in the Official UK Albums Chart, and going to achieve platinum status. It includes singles ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Kung Fu’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Angel Interceptor’ and ‘Oh Yeah’ which remain staples of the Ash’s live show.

This is the first time the album has been re-issued since its 1996 release.

The summer of 1996 belonged to Ash; following the chart topping ‘1977’ and ‘Goldfinger,’ ‘Oh Yeah’, the fifth single from the band’s number 1 debut album crashed into the UK Top 10. The festival season crescendoed at Reading Festival, with over 60,000 heat-scorched bodies singing along to, ‘Oh Yeah’, the anthem of the summer.

Five consecutive sold out nights at the London Astoria followed, along with the self-funded (and disowned) tour excess documentary ‘Teenage Wildlife’, narrated by (Obi-wan Kenobi) Ewan McGregor.

Produced by Owen Morris and recorded at Rockfield Studios, ‘Oh Yeah’ features backing vocals from Lisa Moorish (Oasis - Fade Away, Warchild). The video was banned by the BBC’s iconic Top Of The Pops TV show.

‘Oh Yeah’ featured in the 1996 episode of RTE’s Reeling in the Years.
