Earlier this year the group released the intriguing We The Collective album which saw them morph many of their classic tracks into new acoustic arrangements to widespread acclaim. The record became their most successful in two decades, reaching the top 20 in the UK chart.

To further celebrate the great achievement of 30 years in the business, The Levellers will also be releasing a series of eight albums on coloured vinyl, some never before available in this format. The LPs are to be put out on the band’s own On The Fiddle Recordings label and all have been remastered from the original 1/2” analogue tapes by Levellers violinist Jon Sevink. The limited edition releases will be available only in select independent record stores and from the band’s website.

Already sold out are the group’s two most recent albums, Letters From The Underground and Static On The Airwaves, on pink and purple vinyl respectively. Next up in the series are Levellers (UK chart #2, 1993) and Zeitgeist ( UK chart #1, 1995) which will be issued in November as limited edition 2LP orange / yellow vinyl sets. March next year will see the next batch, all of which are released on vinyl for the first time including the double live album, Headlights, White Lines, Black Tar Rivers (#13, 1996), along with Mouth To Mouth (#5, 1997) and Hello Pig (#28, 2000).

Finally, in June 2019 the final part in the series will be released in the form of the band’s celebrated headline set from Glastonbury Festival in 1994. This has never been released before and will be pressed on 2LP gold vinyl, it’s certain to sell quickly! For more info and to order any of the vinyl reissues visit: https://www.levellers.co.uk/shop
