Featuring two Top 10 hits, Love Train and Americanos, the record will be re-released on red vinyl and cassette to mark its latest milestone, which takes place next April. 

Of the September 29 release, Johnson says: “‘Blast’ in a Nutshell – My exploding red hot vinyl, from the fag end of the nineteen eighties. It’s not purple, but it’s mine all mine. 

“Thirty-five years in the same house, the vibes are still here. Still alive in 2023.”

Alongside the album, a range of merch including T-shirts, tote bags and more is also on sale. 

‘Blast’ is available to pre-order now.
