The Stone Roses

The debut, five times platinum in the UK.
The Stone Roses, 1989

Leckie found the demos too fast and drowned in vocal reverb, and Squire and Brown were unhappy with the mix and wanted louder bass and drums. Paul Schroeder engineered. The UK edition holds eleven tracks and the US edition adds "Elephant Stone" and "Fools Gold". It is five times platinum in the UK and, by the 2006 33 1/3 book, sold over four million worldwide; the 2004 reissue reached 9 and the 2009 one 5. It won the Mojo Classic Album award in 2010.
