Radio de The Blue Aeroplanes

The Blue Aeroplanes are a Bristol-based rock group featuring Gerard Langley, whose poetic lyrics (largely spoken) were combined with a heavily guitar-centric band to produce albums such as Swagger, Tolerance, and Beatsongs. After Cavaliers/Roundheads was released in 2000 they had a lengthy break before re-releasing Swagger as a 2-CD deluxe version in January 2006 and announcing a new album Altitude due in spring 2007. 1) Bop Art, 2/84, LP, Party PART1; ?/85, LP, Abstract ABT009; 12/94, CD, Regeneration Records RGNR 4001 Note: Reissued for one pressing only on Abstract as part of a general deal with them that never happened.
