The band covering the Velvet Monkeys’ 1981 US psych-punk stormer ‘Everything Is Right’ also seems very much right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300 copies on vinyl (also on CD and DL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you blithering?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine Up:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKevin Younger - Vocals, Guitar, Keys\u003cbr\u003eMark Aitken - Bass Guitar\u003cbr\u003eJames Moore - Drums, Percussion\u003cbr\u003eSarah Post - Vocals\u003cbr\u003e*David Stewart Read - Ukulele\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded and mixed by Jon Clayton at One Cat Studios, London.\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios, Rochester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spinout Nuggets","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":51748633805142,"sku":"SN166","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51748633837910,"sku":"SN167CD","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP\/CD","offer_id":51748633870678,"sku":"SN168LP\/CD","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/3552\/8278\/files\/SN166Front.jpg?v=1781955924","url":"https:\/\/www.spinoutnuggets.com\/products\/the-high-span-blithering-lp-pre-order","provider":"Spinout Nuggets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
