The Farm - Spartacus - Available on Tri-Colour vinyl and 2CD in Deluxe 7" sized packaging. ***National Albums Day, Saturday, 17th October Exclusive***
Released on Tri-Colour Vinyl and Exclusively reissued on CD for the first time in over twenty years, presented in Deluxe 7" sized packaging with 2CDs featuring the abum newly mastered, plus a comprehensive selection of the best of the original era remixes Also features brand new sleeve notes written by author Kevin Sampson, The Farm's former manager.
To celebrate National Album Day and the 2026 theme of 'Icons', Demon Records present the reissue of the Number One debut album from The Farm featuring the Top 10 singles 'All Together Now' and 'Groovy Train' on it's 35th anniversary.
The Farm had long been flying the fag for terrace chic, anthemic street poetry, training shoes and street fashion for many years since the mid 1980s, before the music press finally decided at the start of the 90s that with upstarts like The Happy Mondays it was de rigueur. Peter Hooton the front man and lead singer had been at the forefront of music, politics and football fanzine 'The End' where he honed his writing skills writing poems.
Finally the world was catching up; The Farm had been banging their drum from the start, and now their time had come with all the key pieces falling into place with the band's influences from the likes of Buzzcocks, the Clash and the Jam melding with dance and acid house-influenced grooves.
Originally released fully independently on their own label, Produce Records, the album was recorded with Madness frontman Graham "Suggs" McPherson as producer, with another track 'Tell The Story' produced by the Housemartins members Paul Heaton and Stan Cullimore and guest vocals on a number of tracks from Pete Wylie. Terry Farley a founding editor of Boy's Own magazine and regular acid house DJ who'd collaborated with Andrew Weatherall mixed the album.
