35th Anniversary Edition
2LP Neon Swirl and Blue Skies vinyl, Limited Edition
Sony (2026) UK
Originally released in 1991, Swervedriver’s debut album Raise became an instant cult classic and still sounds every bit as vital. It’s a key record from a band founded by Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge, with a following that has stayed strong ever since.
To mark the album’s 35th anniversary, this expanded 2LP edition arrives on colour vinyl. Disc 1 features a newly mastered version of the album, bringing fresh detail and energy to favourites including Rave Down, Sandblasted and Son of Mustang Ford.
Disc 2 gathers B-sides and rarities, personally compiled by the band, making this a thoughtful new edition of Raise for longtime fans and anyone discovering Swervedriver for the first time.
