Product Details

Plastic Beach arrived at a moment when Damon Albarn was pushing the Gorillaz concept further into genuinely strange territory, building an entire narrative around a garbage island in the Pacific while somehow pulling together one of the most eclectic guest rosters in modern pop. This half-speed mastered pressing gives that dense, layered production room to breathe in ways the original release never quite allowed, and the split-color vinyl makes the oceanic concept feel tactile.

Five years on from the release of Demon Days, Gorillaz made a critically-acclaimed return in 2010 with third studio album Plastic Beach, a collection of 16 tracks featuring a galaxy of stellar guests including: Bashy, Bobby Womack, De La Soul, Gruff Rhys, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Kano, Little Dragon, Lou Reed, Mark E Smith, Mick Jones, Mos Def, The National Orchestra For Arabic Music, Paul Simonon, Sinfonia ViVA and Snoop Dogg.

The “genius... kaleidoscopic musical ambition” [The Guardian] of Damon Albarn once again defied sonic expectations to deliver the band’s most pop album to date, with singles including ‘Stylo’, ‘Superfast Jellyfish’ and ‘On Melancholy Hill’.

The recording sessions saw Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, 2D and Noodle take up residence on the most deserted spot on the planet, Plastic Beach HQ  - a secret floating island deep in the South Pacific, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity.

Each vinyl is individually hand-pressed, making every copy unique. Colour blends and patterns will vary.
