New Bootleg Cover Added (Oct 28)
A brand new bootleg cover had been added to the Gallery - Walsall Junction 10 Club. Featuring photography from the gig itself, this will be a quality addition to any bootleg collection.
The Stone Roses revolutionised British Pop. Our days before them had been dark and dingy. The cool people were too scared to take a pot shot at the mainstream, the underground, it seemed, was fading away, leaving the charts dominated by the vile scum of the eighties' pop brigade.
The Stone Roses were the most legendary band of the late 1980s. They changed British pop by putting a cool street band back into the mainstream; they made pop and guitars cool again. They were part of their times, but they were also catalyst for the future. They took trad guitar music and breathed new life into it, and when they put out 'Fools Gold' they virtually invented the perfect 1990's pop record.
