Oyster Band, Holy Bandits

 

UK (LP) Cooking Vinyl Records COOKLP682 (2017) 

 

Per festeggiare il quarantesimo anniversario del gruppo, esce per la prima volta in vinile questo album, forse tra i migliori prodotti da John Jones e compagni.  Il produttore Al Scott si è avvalso in questo caso delle fotografie di copertina di Jak Kilby mentre il design è affidato Martin Rowsell e alla Simply Marvellous Music.
