Acid Jazz Heard Noises - Super Deluxe Boxset [VINYL]

In January 2025, Acid Jazz released ‘Heard Noises’, the latest album from Matt Berry. It was met with all-round acclaim, with wild sell-out Q&A sessions at Rough Trade, and an incredible buzz among fans and critics alike, as it immediately climbed to #22 on the Official UK Charts. In the restless mind of Matt Berry, there was more of a story to be told around the album. Throughout the year he has worked with a number of his favourite people to create this Super Deluxe edition, which provides a new and definitive take on the album and its recording process. Presented in a beautiful lift-off-lid boxset with new artwork, this ultimate ‘Heard Noises’ experience is limited to 1000 copies and contains the following beautifully curated components: HEARD NOISES: Half-Speed Master Version. A new version of the album half-speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell. This process provides a unique and extremely high fidelity listening experience, giving a distinct perspective on the album. It is presented in a redesigned gatefold and printed inner sleeve. BONUS TRACKS: A four-track twelve-inch vinyl EP, featuring the four bonus tracks from the sessions, including a previously unreleased cover of Beach House's 'Lover Of Mine’, featuring the vocals of Celia Fage. The other tracks are Snake Organ’ and ‘Screaming Walls’, which were only available on a limited retail CD, and ‘Crucifix Lane’ which appeared on an Acid Jazz compilation. REMIXES: An eight-track vinyl album featuring remixes of ‘Heard Noises’ tracks by the likes of Tennis, Midfield General, Moog Cookbook, Andy Votel, Rodeo Clown, Project Gemini, Brian Kehew and Sean Ono Lennon. These explore the sonic landscape of the album and wander off into some exciting new vistas. The Moog Cookbook team present their first remix in over 25 years, and Tennis totally recast ‘Wedding Photo Stranger’. REMIX PICTURE DISC: One album was too small to contain all of the brilliant remixes, so in an Acid Jazz first, also included is a picture disc 7-inch single that includes an extra mix by Sean Ono Lennon and Project Gemini respectively. 64 PAGE MAKING OF HEARD NOISES HARDBACK BOOK: A beautiful boxset-exclusive tome that is adorned with regular Matt Berry collaborator Ben Meadows' full colour photographs of the studio and instruments that were used in the making of the album, alongside a detailed commentary of what they are and what they mean to Matt.
