English indie rock group Black Box Recorder formed in London in 1997 and featured Sarah Nixey, John Moore, and Luke Haines. Their debut album, England Made Me, was released on Chrysalis Records in 1998. The album was named after the eponymous Graham Greene novel and fuses indie rock and easy-listening pop stylings with lyrics that explore life and the experience of growing up in England. Pitchfork's Michael Sandlin described the sound of the album as "mildly morose but slightly tongue-in-cheek Sylvia Plath-meets-Paul McCartney pop sensibility". England Made Me remains a high point in the band's catalogue with standout tracks including 'Kidnapping An Heiress', 'Girl Singing In The Wreckage', and the single 'Child Psychology' which was recently back in the spotlight with a viral moment on social media after being championed by Billie Eilish. This new edition has been curated with the assistance of the band and features a newly remaster version of the album on Clear Vinyl, and 1CD with bonus tracks containing b-sides. All audio has been remastered from the original production tapes by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and cut by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. Formats: 1/ The album is presented on standard weight Clear viny and 180gm black vinyl, printed inner. 2/ 1CD digisleeve, 12 page booklet
