Originally released in 1998 on Independiente Records, the record was a Top 10 Album Of The Year in MOJO and Top 15 in Uncut magazines at the time

This is the sole studio album from Burton-on-Trent based Sunhouse, Crazy On The Weekend captured the melodic beauty and gritty yet affecting soul that made the group so beloved despite only existing for a matter of years. Working with producer John Reynolds (who also played drums on the original sessions and has remastered the album for this release)

Sunhouse always recorded outside regular studios, creating Crazy On The Weekend in Reynolds' Notting Hill home which added a unique atmosphere to these recordings

Built around the band's warm acoustics and subtly impassioned vocals, gentle washes of strings, deep resonating organs and, on closing track Hard Sun, backing vocals from Sinéad O'Connor, added a golden glow to Sunhouse's already moving songs

Late singer Gavin Clark would go on to work with UNKLE and form the band Clayhill, but Crazy On The Weekend represents one of his most fully formed artistic expressions, as Sunhouse created an album that, though acclaimed on release in 1998, has subsequently become something of an overlooked masterpiece

Crazy On The Weekend remains a central tenant of this rare, candid yet magnetic talent's artistic legacy and Rough Trade Records are honoured to be bringing this underrated yet truly affecting album back to vinyl

Following his work on the reissue, Sunhouse's Rob Brooks declared: "With the social media revolution and the likes of 6 Music just around the corner, I genuinely think that if this album had been released two years later, it would have ended up in the record collections of most people who know their music

However, a classic album enjoyed by the few is still a classic album

It's prophetic, poetic, and sublime and something of which I am hugely proud

Enjoy this wonderful record in all of its remastered glory and share with us, as you drop the needle onto the vinyl, the joy of reliving a most treasured memory." LP (Orange Vinyl)
