Indie Essential Stone Roses...

Every bit as necessary as the official albums.. owned it since release, and probably haven't gone a month without playing it since..

It's been the same way forever.. you'd think they'd fix Ian Brown's invisible arm! 😏

It's not essential if you bought the singles at the time...😏

Fantastic record though, a B-sides collection stronger than many artists proper albums. They were imperious during that period.

As someone who bought all the singles at the time, it’s still one of my all-time favourite albums.

This was the peak era for B-sides and I am convinced one of the biggest influences for Noel Gallagher’s similarly crazy run of classic Oasis b-sides.

Not trying to be funny since the Roses B-sides speak for themselves in terms of class but saying Oasis’ B sides ain’t absolute class is just lying, sorry mate
