The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free (2LP) 180 gram audiophile vinyl re-release, out now
Upon its release 10 years ago, The Streets second album, A Grand Don’t Come For Free was instantly hailed as another masterpiece to equal his initial clarion call, Original Pirate Material.
Unavailable on vinyl for the best part of the intervening decade, Be With Records marks its second release by issuing Mike Skinner’s electronic soap opera on this format.
This was the album that saw Skinner compared to the likes of Ray Davies and Paul Weller in evoking the glorious mess of everyday life. ‘Dry Your Eyes’ and ‘Blinded By The Lights’, in particular, manage to articulate painfully familiar feelings that appeal to music fans and the record marked Skinner’s creative peak, received international acclaim and, thanks to its distinctiveness, propelled its maker to the top of the musical tree.
