(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: Catherine Wheel
Album Title: Ferment
Year released: 1992
Year reissued: 2017
Details: Limited edition, numbered 1096/1500, 25th anniversary, 180 gram, orange and gold vinyl
The skinny: Okay. Where do I start? How about ‘unblemished debut album by late-coming shoegazers’? How about ‘brilliant start by underrated british alt-rock band’? How about ‘a breathtaking album with a deserving 25th anniversary reissue’? Done.
Standout track: “Black metallic”

Not really my cup of tea I’m afraid, even with the Iron Maiden connection.
I did always quite like their cover art though.

I always thought Bruce had a hand in producing this but I checked the liner notes again and I was wrong. Anyhoo, this was really the one album I really liked. Everything else was spotty.

Not a band I ever really got into, but I do like the cover. Music on Vinyl releases are pretty good, eh? I haven’t heard a bad sounding album they’ve put out…

Yeah. I really like MOV releases. Unfortunately, they spend a lot of time reissuing soundtracks that I don’t care for,

I saw these guys in concert one time! It was at a festival, they were part of the line-up… Interesting stuff! I love that gold vinyl, such a pretty thing!

‘Twas indeed Edenfest. I didn’t bring it up to make you jealous (didn’t even name it, but you guessed it!) – just one of the bands that were there!
