Castles in Space are thrilled to present this deluxe edition of the second Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan album, "People & Industry . Originally released in September 2021, this is a beautiful new edition featuring four bonus tracks on a second disc which have never been released on vinyl before. “It’s been amazing to revisit this album”, says Gordon Chapman-Fox. “It’s one that people didn't get chance to hear, and it was overlooked following the success of the debut album, "Interim Report March 1979", but revisiting it has made me fall in love with it all over again. Returning to the album after five years opened up a whole series of delights at some melodic choices, and some really unusual creative decisions I made.” "The theme is very much to celebrate the workers and industry that was absolutely booming around Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn in the late 70s. From coal mining, to chemicals, to cars, the area was an absolute hive of industry. Some of those businesses are still very much in the area, but a lot has changed since then. This album, much like the first, looks back to look forward. It is is nostalgic but with 40 years of hindsight." This new double vinyl edition has been redisgned by Gordon in a gorgeous gatefold sleeve and pressed on beautiful splatter vinyl by our friends at Dunk in Belgium.
