{"product_id":"shop-assistants_will-anything-happen_2024","title":"Will Anything Happen","description":"Shop Assistants formed in Edinburgh in 1984 and quickly gained a cult following, playing alongside kindred spirits the Pastels and the Jesus \u0026 Mary Chain, and receiving positive coverage in fanzines and the music press. Their EP Shopping Parade and their single Safety Net both topped the independent charts and charmed listeners with their unique melodic blend of punk rock and 60s pop. The band signed to Geoff Travis's new label Chrysalis Records, Blue Guitar, in 1986 for the release of their debut album 'Will Anything Happen'. The album has since become a cult classic and is an essential listen for fans of indie, dream-pop, and shoegaze. Notable tracks include the lead single \"I Don't Wanna Be Friends With You,\" \"All Day Long,\" and \"Somewhere In China.\" This new expanded edition has been remastered from the original tapes and compiled in collaboration with David Keegan and Laura McPhail from the band. CD 1 includes the newly remastered version of 'Will Anything Happen' along with B-sides from the era, as well as previously unreleased instrumental demos from 1986. CD 2 contains 18 additional unreleased tracks, including alternative versions and recently unearthed rough mixes from the album's recording, live recordings from London and Deinze, and a John Peel session featuring a cover of Motorhead's 'Ace Of Spades'.","brand":"Shop Assistants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58534495486296,"sku":null,"price":23698929.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0840401703731.jpg?v=1790030947","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/shop-assistants_will-anything-happen_2024","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
