{"product_id":"shed-seven_let-it-ride_2025_ber","title":"LET IT RIDE","description":"Shed Seven’s third album, Let It Ride, is a vibrant and energetic collection of alternative rock anthems – full of catchy melodies and memorable hooks, it captures the confident and optimistic sound of the band. Originally released on Polydor Records in June 1998, Let It Ride built on the huge popularity of 1996’s A Maximum High, propelling the York-based indie quartet into the UK Top 10. Let It Ride is Shed Seven’s view from the top of their early glory years released almost two years after A Maximum High, the album was first preceded by “Chasing Rainbows” in November 1996, a UK Top 20 hit and arguably their most famous anthem. It is the first of four singles from the album, followed by the Britpop\/Baggy joy of “She Left Me On Friday” (No. 11 in March 1998); the arms-in-the-air power ballad of “The Heroes” (No. 18), which ends with the meditative “Devil In Your Shoes” from August. Produced by Stephen Street, Chris Sheldon and Dave Leaper, Let It Ride was partially recorded in the legendary Olympic Studios in Barnes. It sees the band stretching out, using drum machines and string sections, with songs like the country-influenced “A Hole” and the almost metal of the opener “Return.” “There are songs on this album that have the ability to become classic songs, like the Beatles, like the Stones,” guitarist Paul Banks said at the time, a bold claim, but then, listen to “Chasing Rainbows,” and the melancholic “Goodbye” to understand where he was coming from.","brand":"Shed Seven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55750985285976,"sku":null,"price":23992938.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0805520241229.jpg?v=1760727887","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/shed-seven_let-it-ride_2025_ber","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
