Record Store Day 2025. Pale Saints complete their series of 30th anniversary reissues with the expanded edition of their third and final album, Slow Buildings. As with their first two reissues, this special pressing sees a long out of print album being expanded to run over 2 discs, this time to include the ‘Fine Friend’ EP and a selection of previously unheard tracks and demos. Having been remastered, this double LP edition comes in a gatefold sleeve, being pressed on petrol blue vinyl as part of Record Store Day 2025.
Primed by the brilliant single “Fine Friend” (a song adapted from 1981’s “Poison in the Airwaves” by Scottish band Persian Rugs), third album Slow Buildings shows the band still venturing forward - this time, keeping the experimentation and guitar fuzz of their early records whilst opening-up their songs so Meriel’s vocals could hit new, pop heights.
As with the 30th anniversary reissues of their previous two albums, this special pressing sees this long out of print record being remastered and expanded to include a wealth of bonus material that’s sure to delight fans. Working with mastering engineer Kevin Vanbergen, this new edition runs over two discs with the album being packaged with the Fine Friend EP and a great selection of previously unheard tracks and demos as handpicked by the band.
