Description

//Fat Possum//

£24.99 – 1xLP, Remastered Black Gatefold Vinyl

Somewhat overlooked at the time, ‘amazing grace’ is possibly the heaviest and most intimate spiritualized record. A wild collection of blazing garage rock songs and beautifully tender, sometimes devastatingly sad, ballads. They are songs that reach for help from a broken place, ragged and lonely, in love with a world hanging by a thread. the feeling of the gospel standard that inspired the title – “through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come” – hangs like a shadow over the whole record, and J Spaceman’s heart and soul lies very close to the microphone.
