THE BLUE AEROPLANES - Outsider Art: The Other Best Of The Blue Aeroplanes 1985-2025 - CD [OCT 31]

CD - Takes a deep dive into four decades of deep- cuts, fan-favourites, and live-staples that have cemented The Blue Aeroplanes as true cult heroes.

The Blue Aeroplanes are Bristol's longest running band and a true art-rock institution who have inspired generations of post-punk and alternative groups including R.E.M., Radiohead, and Manic Street Preachers.

Outsider Art - The Other Best Of The Blue Aeroplanes 1985-2025 is the essential companion piece to Magical Realism, the band's critically acclaimed first career- spanning retrospective. The collection takes a deep dive into four decades of deep- cuts, fan-favourites, and live-staples that have cemented The Blue Aeroplanes as true cult heroes. This new compilation also unearths a trove of previously unreleased material from the archives, including recordings from BBC 'In Concert' ('What It Is' and 'Breaking In My Heart'), and a brand-new version of 'Winter Sun' captured in 2024 during the band's legendary annual residency at The Fleece in Bristol.

'Outsider Art' features a 24- page booklet with new sleeve notes, lyrics, and rare photographs from the band's archives. Remastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering.
