In its original vinyl format for the first time
Last updated 11th Feb 2021
Scottish indie rockers Travis have announced they’re reissuing their debut album ‘Good Feeling’ on vinyl in its original format for the first time.
Released on Friday 2nd April 2021 via Craft Recordings, the reissue will feature the classic sleeve and original packaging replication. It’s available to buy on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl, and an exclusive limited-edition red vinyl version can be pre-ordered from Travis’ official website and UK independent record shops.
Helmed by six-time Grammy Award winning producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Rolling Stones, Morrissey, Peter Gabriel), ‘Good Feeling’ was originally released in September 1997 and peaked at no.9 on the UK album chart.
The record spawned them hit singles ‘All I Wanna Do Is Rock’, ‘Tied to the 90s’, ‘Happy’ and ‘More Than Us’. To celebrate the reissue, Travis have shared the original version of ‘More Than Us’, which you can listen to here:
Commenting on the reissue, Travis singer Fran Healy says: “In December 1996, just out of Woodstock in Upstate New York, Travis assembled in the legendary Bearsville Studios with the legendary producer Steve Lilllywhite to begin recording their debut album Good Feeling.
“Hailed at the time as one of the debuts of the year by the legendary music critic Andy Gill, Good Feeling is us at our rawest. We're extremely happy to be reissuing it on vinyl for you all.”
The reissue news comes a few days after Travis postponed their May 2021 UK tour for May 2022.
Travis’ most recent album ‘10 Songs’ was released in October 2020. Watch Fran Healy and Dougie Payne’s chat with Absolute Radio’s Ben Burrell last autumn right here:
