The months of deep-archive research have borne fruit; all of The
Distractions key masters have been located. However, using the same
methodology as for any HiddenMasters project, the complete
audio-database also includes live recordings; demos, outtakes, different
mixes and radio sessions – some of which only now exist on DAT,
cassette or virgin vinyl.
HiddenMasters have just completed the
digitisation process of all found (at FX with Richard Whittaker as chief
engineer) and will shortly be embarking on the song selection process
in collaboration with Mike Finney and Steve Perrin.
The forthcoming set is entitled Parabolically Yours
and will not only include historic Distractions recordings but bring
the story totally up to date by featuring more recent material (as well
as some prime cuts from the band’s sold out shows in Salford during
2013).
Parabolically Yours will be presented in a
12″ hard back, casebound book format (100+ pages – with text drawn from
extensive interviews with the key people involved in the story of The
Distractions – edited by David Quantick). It will be issued as a limited
1st edition of just 500 copies worldwide.
Further details – including the full track listing and pre-ordering details – will be announced shortly.
