Vinyl records London dig this New Limited Vinyl Records by Matt Deighton. The lost 2001 albumThe Common Good followed quickly on the heels of the release ofYou Are The Healer. It was part produced by John Leckie and features an allstar cast of performances from drum maestro Steve White, Keyboard legend Mick Talbot, alongside a world class complement of Marco Nelson, Nicola BrightThomas and of course, Paul Weller. Originally released on a limited run of vinyl and CD, it then vanished without a trace for two decades, save for a couple of bootlegs that robbed him of any royalties, and a handful of fans refusing to let it die online. Now it has finally been restored to glory in 24 bit for the first time, for a worldwide release.It is a record that is slightly more electric than the others with standout tracks such asLarge As Life,A Saint Coming HomeandFinger of Rain perhaps owing something to Matts time withPaul Weller and Oasis, but there are still those haunting acoustic moments that define him, such asEvensong, andThe Common Good.The album was remastered in 2020 from the original tapes by Russ HepworthSawyer and then prepared for vinyl by Jason Mitchell.This is the 24bit 96k Hi Res Master Quality digital download.One of this countrys best kept secretsThe Huffington Post34A mellow folksoul gem, shamefully overlooked… there039s clearly a sharp, undervalued talent at work.34Mojo 45TRACKLISTING1 Large As Life2 039Till Monday3 Populator4 The Rolling Bus5 The Common Good6 Before And After7 All The Above8 Just Remember9 Back To The Meantime10 Finger Of Rain11 A Saint Coming Home12 Evensong13 Tumbling Free14 With Everyone
