PRODUCT DETAILS
Details: Double vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. The Boo Radleys celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1993 genre-hopping masterpiece Giant Steps. NME's 1993 Album Of The Year, named in the Top 20 of Pitchfork's The 50 Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time and lauded as one of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Only the second of their five albums to be released on the legendary Creation Records, at a time when label mates including Slowdive, Teenage Fanclub and Ride were also casting long shadows across the indie landscape, pre-the Oasis hurricane making landfall at the label, Giant Steps broke into the canon of great, experimental rock albums soon after it's release. It's first single, Lazarus, issued as a standalone release in November 1992. For the 2023 reissue, Lazarus' 12" version appears on the all-formats track listing for the first time. Recorded at London's Protocol Studios, where Carr and Brown took on self-production duties with support from engineer, Andy Wilkinson, The Boo Radleys set about responding to their shared sense of dissatisfaction with their 1992 album, Everything's Alright Forever. Free to do as they please, they set about making a record of complete artistic freedom, bringing in reggae (Upon 9th And Fairchild), dance (Rodney King) and irresistible, warped indie pop (Barney And Me) influences into the studio and, without limitation, weaved them into the satisfyingly complex fabric of Giant Steps. Snapshot incidentals, intermissions and between-radio-station static intro/outros added to the sense of unrestrained exploration.

Great product and awesome customer service! I’d buy from them again for sure.
Arrived in perfect new condition. Customer service was awesome
Excellent all around transaction
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
I love this vinyl record. I couldn't wait to get it. It came with very cool poster. And the album art is amazing. I love Pale Blue Records. Such fast and careful shipping service.
Fast delivery
I was thrilled to find this variant available for a reasonable price. Shipping was fast, and the record was very well-packed. Sounds great too!
Prompt shipping, sturdy packaging, excellent sound. Spindle hole was a bit small for my record player, but that was an easily fixed issue. Happy with my purchase!
I am happy with the album and the customer service response to my inquiry about whether it shipped. I am really unhappy with the delivery by USPS- it left Pale Blue dot on Jan. 14, went to two Florida distribution centers, traveled to Philadelphia and arrived on the 16th ( and close to my home) but then inexplicably went to Memphis TN arriving on the 17th where it remained for some unknown reason for five additional days until the 22nd until it shipped out again, arriving on the 25th. Like what the ???!!! Very frustrating. Don’t know if there are other shipping options but I advise against USPS. Happy with album and price otherwise.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Was so excited when I saw this variant was in stock so I snagged 2, one that I gave to a fellow LH fan. It’s gorgeous and spins like a dream! Was packed incredibly well too. Will definitely be shopping here in the future!!
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.
Came in a cool color a lot more vibrant then expected, played amazing. Thank you for the products you provide
The record came wrapped so well and very quickly especially for standard shipping too. Can’t wait to shop here more!!
Just as advertised! Thanks for the tunes!
