Ash is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their number one platinum-selling debut album ‘1977' with a 30th anniversary edition.
The album features the smash hits ‘Girl From Mars', ‘Goldfinger', ‘King Fu' and ‘Oh Yeah'. It will be available on 2LP EcoRecord Green & Black ‘InkPlosion’ vinyl in a Gatefold Sleeve, 2CD Digisleeve plus booklet, and digitally. You can pre-save/pre-order the album now.
The digital and 2CD edition features on Disc 1 the original album in full – 12 tracks of high-voltage power-pop that still sound as urgent and melodic as ever, such as ‘Lose Control’ and ‘Darkside Lightside’. It also includes four additional tracks: the long-lost, near-mythical track ‘Bittersweet Blue’, ‘Oh Yeah (2026 version), ‘Girl From Mars (Demo 2026 Mix) and ‘Gone The Dream (Acoustic 2026 Mix)’.
Disc 2 captures a special live set from STABAL Studios in 2021, where the band perform 1977 in full, along with fan favourites from the era, including ‘Oh Yeah’ released as the first track from the performance, plus ‘Coasting', ‘Sneaker', ‘American Devil', and ‘Silver Surfer'.
The 2LP presents the original album across LP1 with a specially curated collection of B-sides on LP2, that highlight the depth and creativity of the 1977 era. Standout tracks include ‘Day Of The Triffids’, ‘Luther Ingo’s Star Cruiser’, ‘Astra Conversations With Toulouse Lautrec’, ‘Cantina Band’, ‘Sneaker’, ‘T Rex’ and more.
Ash will embark on a global ‘1977' tour kicking off in September, with stops across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Europe – with Japanese dates to be announced shortly – before wrapping up in the UK and Ireland in December. Presale opens on 12th May and General Sale on 15th May.
