Label GB

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Inspiral Carpets are an English alternative rock band that formed in 1983 in Oldham, Greater Manchester. With their unique blend of psychedelic and indie rock, they quickly gained a loyal following and became one of the most influential bands of the Madchester scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The band's distinctive sound is characterized by catchy melodies, jangly guitars, and organ-driven hooks. Their energetic live performances and infectious songs such as "This Is How It Feels" and "Saturn 5" have made them a favorite among music lovers worldwide.
Over the years, Inspiral Carpets have released numerous critically acclaimed albums and singles, establishing themselves as pioneers of the alternative rock genre. With their enduring popularity and timeless music, they continue to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.

Back In Stock

Originally released on 23rd April 1990, Life was Inspiral Carpets’ debut record and reached #2 in the UK album charts, featuring the band’s most notable single ‘This Is How It Feels’. Regarded as one of the main components of the Madchester movement in the early 90s, the Inspirals went on to release a further three albums on Cow Records (via Mute Records) before disbanding in 1995.

This release sees Life re-issued on vinyl for the first time since its original release and will be housed in a standard 12” sleeve on limited edition 140 gram gold vinyl.
