Apple Bed - Green Colored Vinyl [Import] on LP

Trends come and trends go but Nick Heyward is proof that great songwriting is timeless. In the UK, at least, the mid '90s will be best remembered as the time of Britpop, a return to catchy guitar-driven Pop tunes, that drew inspiration from the Beat scene 30 years earlier, and offered a more upbeat, optimistic alternative to the imported Grunge movement. To those familiar with Nick's work, this was nothing new. Demon Records are delighted to present a new suite of reissues celebrating Nick's work from this era. In a move which would have surprised many at the time, Nick's sixth solo album The Apple Bed was originally released in August 1997 on Creation Records - though not on LP. As with Tangled, Demon Records will be making it available on (apple) green vinyl for the very first time. Among other things, Creation - and particularly their biggest act, Oasis - was closely associated with Britpop, a movement that sought to emulate concise, well-crafted songs of the Beat era thirty years earlier. A path that Nick had been following successfully for many years, as is evident on the singles included here, 'Today', 'The Man You Used To Be' and 'Stars In Her Eyes'.
