The Coral was originally released on Monday 29 July 2002 and, with the help of the singles Dreaming Of You and Goodbye, catapulted the band to mainstream success at the first attempt, landing a Mercury Prize-nomination and Platinum-certfication.
Remastered from the original mixes and reissued on standard and special-edition collectors’ vinyl pressings, as well as extended CD, cassette and digital formats, the album also features two, unreleased, never-before-heard-tracks, She’s The Girl For Me and Tumble Graves. Produced by album producer, Ian Broudie, as part of the 2001 album recording sessions, they appear on an all-formats bonus disc, complete with a singles B-sides collection and the band’s pre-album EP The Oldest Path.
To set the scene for this year’s 20th Anniversary celebrations The Coral also released the remastered audio and video for their April Fools Day 2002 single, Skeleton Key. The frenetic freak-out jam raised-eyebrows as the band, then aged between just 18 and 21 years of age and canonned them into public concsiousness. Watch here.
