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.

After leaving school in summer 1995 and embarking on a sold out riot around the UK, Ash crashed into the UK charts at number 11 with their breakthrough single ‘Girl from Mars’, establishing themselves as writers of truly great pop tunes. At home their parents watched in disbelief as their sons appeared on BBC institution, Top Of The Pops.

Inspired by Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Pixie’s Trompe le Monde and David Bowie, ‘Girl from Mars’ was the band’s first NME single of the week and was used by NASA as hold music on their phone systems.

‘Girl from Mars’ was the second single to be produced by Owen Morris and to feature on the band’s debut number 1 album ‘1977’, released in May 1996.

Directed by Peter Christopherson, the ‘Girl from Mars’ video was filmed on a beach at Weston-super-Mare beach. Ash would later perform on the same beach for Channel 4’s programme T4’s Pop On The Beach to promote 2004 album ‘Meltdown’.

‘Girl from Mars’ featured on the soundtrack to the television program Gilmore Girls "Our Little Corner of the World".
