About

The Stone Roses, Manchester's alternative rock originators from 1984 to 2017.

Two studio albums with multiple vinyl pressings, especially the 1989 debut; original UK LPs command high collector interest.

The Stone Roses emerged in the mid-1980s Manchester music scene, initially influenced by punk before evolving into the baggy and Madchester movements. Their sound combined indie rock with psychedelic and dance elements, helped by distinct guitar work and rhythmic grooves. The band underwent lineup changes prior to solidifying their classic formation, releasing key singles like "Sally Cinnamon" and signing with Silvertone Records in 1988. Their debut LP, released in 1989, remains a pivotal album in British rock. A follow-up, "Second Coming," was released in 1994 with mixed reception. Despite lineup shifts and legal disputes, their output includes influential and collectible vinyl editions.
