The renowned voice of the airwaves, Phil Wilson, famous for his morning show "Phil Wilson In The Morning" on Affinity Radio, Saturday 7-10am and the syndicated sensation "Phil Wilson's Vinyl Revival," engages again in a captivating conversation with Britpop iconic frontman Rick Witter of the chart record breakers Shed Seven.

Shed Seven have already had an unforgettable 30th anniversary year, taking in their first ever #1 album with ‘A Matter of Time’

‘Liquid Gold’ sees Shed Seven revisit a selection of hits and live favourites from their back catalogue with the rousing accompaniment of a full orchestra. Reimagined by the band in collaboration with arrangers Fiona Brice (Liam Gallagher, Placebo) and Michael Rendall (who worked on both ‘A Matter of Time’ and 2017’s Top 10 comeback ‘Instant Pleasures’), the album’s rich reinvention also benefits from a brass section and gospel singers.

The album spans the band’s career, starting with ‘Speakeasy’ and ‘Ocean Pie’ from their 1994 debut album ‘Change Giver’. It also visits their landmark album ‘A Maximum High’ - including a dramatic new take on ‘Parallel Lines’ which guitarist Paul Banks has playfully described as sounding like “Shed Zeppelin” - and a soaring, sweeping ‘Disco Down’ through to ‘Better Days’, originally from ‘Instant Pleasures’.

‘Liquid Gold’ is completed by a brand new song which was written specifically for this project in the shape of ‘All Roads Lead To You’ and a new take on the ‘Instant Pleasures’ era bonus track ‘Waiting For The Catch’, which now features Issy Ferris of the UK Americana Award winners Ferris & Sylvester.

Shed Seven’s Rick Witter says, “‘This year, we celebrate 30 years as recording artists, and after reminiscing about our career, we thought we’d celebrate the milestone by revisiting some key songs from our past. If we cherry-picked a hatful of songs and recorded them now, it would be a coherent stroll down memory lane and sit sonically beside our recent number-one album, ‘A Matter Of Time’. A logical next step. We see this record as a gateway into the world of Shed Seven. We also felt that adding an orchestra to each track would lend the whole project a unique slant. The songs have become widescreen, full of colour.
