THE PEARLFISHERS – SKY MEADOWS 2-LP
“Outstanding!“ (The Sunday Times, “Album of the week”)
Out on Record Store Day (April 22, 2023): The 20th Anniversary Edition of “Sky Meadows”, the long-deleted fifth album by The Pearlfishers from 2003. Now reissued as a deluxe 2-LP set in a beautiful gatefold sleeve. The album has been remastered and features four previously unreleased bonus tracks – not available on any digital platform. Masterful, melody-laden classic pop music, driven by main man David Scott’s exceptional songwriting which often has been compared to Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, Todd Rundgren and Brian Wilson. “David Scott’s compositions sound like something by The Carpenters or Burt Bacharach – except much more poppy, upbeat, and current!” (Babysue).
Strictly limited to 900 copies.
