the pictorial jackson review

Following the release of FELT’s first five albums in February, the band’s reissue campaign continues with the second half of their discography.

During the ‘80s Felt recorded ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels. This gorgeously-produced series explores the work of one of the greatest indie groups in recent memory.

The next five albums will be released on 21st of September 2018. These vinyl records, unavailable for many years, have been remastered and revisited by Lawrence, and he has fashioned the ultimate definitive collections. They are available in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

"The Pictorial Jackson Review" was released in 1988 and is the ninth studio album by the band. Felt, led by the enigmatic Lawrence Hayward (who often simply goes by "Lawrence"), was known for their jangly guitar sound and poetic, introspective lyrics. The group was a significant part of the UK's indie scene in the 1980s.

This particular album stands out in Felt's discography for its slightly more experimental approach compared to their earlier work. It features a mix of instrumental tracks and more traditional pop songs. The music on "The Pictorial Jackson Review" tends to be more laid-back and reflective, showcasing the band’s versatility and Lawrence's unique lyrical style. The album, like many of Felt’s projects, did not achieve substantial commercial success but has been highly regarded in indie and alternative music circles for its artistic merit and influence.
