OVERVIEW: Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray, collectively known as Ash announce the re-release of their acclaimed debut album '1977' on November 3rd. Fully remastered by Chris Athens at Sterling Sound, NYC, and containing new sleeve notes by Mark Sutherland, this Collector's Edition has been fully approved by the band. Originally released back in the days when albums equated to vinyl, the trio followed the release of their mini album 'Trailer' and a slew of 'classic' singles including their debut 'Jack Names The Planets' and two precursors to '1977' - 'Kung Fu' and the Top 5 single 'Girl From Mars'. So named because the band members were born in 1977 (Rick was born in '76) and the year 'Star Wars' was unleashed on the world, that year proved somewhat pivotal in the early years of the band due to the passion for all things galactic be it the obsession with the film or song titles 'Angel Interceptor', 'Girl From Mars'. Released in the May of 1996 amid a flurry of critical and commercial success, not least because the band had barely passed their A-levels, '1977' was also home to a brace of other Top 10 singles in the shape of 'Goldfinger' and 'Angel Interceptor' and heralded the arrival of Tim Wheeler as one the country's foremost songwriters at the tender age 18. Ash performed '1977' in its entirety recently at the Roundhouse and Astoria in London - both of which were sold out.
