Annotation

Physical Deluxe double CD release of this version.
Comes in a purple velvet slipcase to emulate the original release. Gold stamped 'Phuq Deluxe' on the front and with the 'Round Records' logo on the back

“PHUQ was written, rehearsed and recorded as a double album. Our debut was a single record, our follow up would be a double, illustrating the ambition of the band and setting us on a very unique trajectory. Typically, for a corporate label, East West records wanted to take the road of least imagination. They ditched all the longer songs and tried to cobble together as close a copy to the first album, from a bunch of songs intended to appear together. The result was a fucking mess and our career was one of unrealised potential and diminishing returns.
I am proud to present the album as it was originally conceived.
Gx”
