Shed Seven have returned to the top of the UK Albums Chart with their ‘Liquid Gold’ orchestral greatest hits.

The band topped the charts for the first time earlier this year with their sixth album ‘A Matter Of Time‘, with their 30th anniversary LP – featuring new recordings of their biggest hits – also hitting No. 1.

It makes the York group one of only 20 artists to score multiple No. 1 albums in the same year.

“Can’t quite really believe that we’re standing here once again this year, but this is our second Number 1 of 2024, which is absolutely mind blowing,” says the group. “We would like to thank our amazing label, Cooking Vinyl, all our crew, and most of all, all the fans who’ve been getting out there this week and getting behind us.

“We’re immensely proud, and we can’t wait to get out on tour and celebrate what an amazing year we’ve had,” they add. “We’d like to dedicate this to our departed loved ones; our four Dads and Max’s Mum. Thank you.”

Billed as a loving tribute to their 30-year journey as recording artists, ‘Liquid Gold’ boasts 12 songs spanning the York group’s repertoire, including the new song All Roads Lead To You, marking the latest addition to the band’s storied discography.

Frontman Rick Witter previously said of the record: “‘This year we celebrate 30 years as recording artists and after reminiscing about our career we thought we’d celebrate the milestone by revisiting some key songs from our past. The idea being that if we cherry picked a hatful of songs and recorded them now it would be a coherent stroll down memory lane but also sit sonically beside our recent No. 1 album ‘A Matter Of Time’. A logical next step.

“We see this record as a gateway into the world of Shed Seven. We also felt that adding an orchestra to each track would lend the whole project a unique slant. The songs have become widescreen, full of colour.”

He adds: “The original recordings will always hold a special place in our hearts but re-recording the chosen songs was an exciting prospect for us. It’s a gift from the band to our loyal supporters, and will hopefully introduce some golden moments throughout our career to a whole new audience. Enjoy, and here’s to the next 30 years!”

‘Liquid Gold’ is out now and available from Amazon, HMV, Rough Trade, Townsend and more.
