Little Comets have recorded a live version of their debut album for release to mark its 10th anniversary.
Out on vinyl for the first time, this updated edition of In Search Of Elusive Little Comets should shed new light on an album packed with dancefloor fillers, pathos and social commentary – soemthing which would go on to become the band’s signature. They’re qualities which rose the LP well above the so-called ‘indie landfill’ of the time, displaying early on why Little Comets would creatively go from strength to strength whilst so many of those contemporaries fell away.
“It was a great experience re-recording the songs that helped us become the band we are today,” Rob Coles says of the recording process, which took place at Liverpool’s Motor Museum Studio.
“It also brought back lots of fantastic memories of when we started out, playing house parties, doing gigs on public transport and by crashing university lectures.”
“We’ve met so many lovely people on the way and remembering them really made it a very emotional experience.”
Songs new and old are promised to be on display when Little Comets tour the UK from the end of this month.
