The next album to receive a deluxe vinyl reissue is The Gospel According To The Meninblack, the final LP from the band’s six UA/Liberty era studio releases. The re-release is limited to 1000 numbered copies and sees the original 10 track LP coupled with a bonus 12 track album (7 of which are previously unreleased), entitled The Meninblack Revelations, which features the stand alone singles Bear Cage & Who Wants The World, all associated b-sides, three live tracks and the brass band reworking Marchinblack. In addition, it also includes super rare different versions of three tracks from original studio mastertapes. Both albums are pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, the original LP on black and the bonus on alien-esque fluorescent green. They are housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring the stunning reworking of Da Vinci’s Last Supper plus newly designed inner sleeves with lyrics and photos. In addition, the double album includes a 10″ x 10″ art print featuring the Maninblack studying the album image from the LP release advert, all of which are hand-signed by the band. The Gospel… reissue album is available to pre-order from Townsend Music here now and it is expected to ship early December in good time for Christmas…

We are pleased to confirm that the band head back out on the road for a tour of the UK and Ireland in March 2019.

Kicking off across the Irish Sea, the first gig sees the band returning to Ulster Hall in Belfast on 28th February and then heading south for a Dublin Olympia show on the 1st March. After a few days for travel, the next gig is in Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire on the 5th which no one can be sure if the band have ever played until now! The itinerary then heads north of the border for a trio of Scottish gigs visiting Aberdeen, Dunfermline & Glasgow (back on the Saturday night!). The tour then visits a further 13 cities in England including a hometown Guildford show on the 19th and the London gig at Brixton O2 Academy on the 22nd. Brighton is back on the itinerary for 2019 and there is also a concert in Bournemouth before the customary tour finale at O2 Apollo in Manchester on the 30th. Special guests for all dates are Dr Feelgood
