Remastered by \u003cstrong\u003eDave Gardner\u003c\/strong\u003e, this first-ever vinyl edition brings the album's jagged edges into sharper focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on CD by vocalist\/guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eTim Evans\u003c\/strong\u003e' own Unstable Ape label and \u003cstrong\u003eLaura MacFarlane\u003c\/strong\u003e's Patsy Records, the album has remained an \"IYKYK\" among '90s underground music heads. This is partly, if not wholly, because they came from a tiny-but-mighty homegrown scene in Hobart, Tasmania. Unlike many of their Aussie peers, the trio managed to tour the US and Europe before calling it a day, quite a feat in the time before GPS or even cell phones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven twenty-six years after their final show, the small but loyal Sea Scouts fan base demanded a proper \u003cem\u003eBeacon of Hope\u003c\/em\u003e reissue. A masterpiece from an obscure scene in an obscure era unearthed, these eight songs capture a sonic landscape filled with dread, catharsis, and even the titular hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zum","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":58672349020505,"sku":"SDZ-49321","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/369_20260724_1036_095033_377_p_download_20260724093727_1_023.jpg?v=1784904274","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/sea-scouts-beacon-of-hope","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
