Pre order now for 14\/10\/22 Originally released in 1983, &laquo;Soul Mining&raquo; is the major label debut album by post-punk outfit The The, fronted by Matt Johnson. Featuring the singles &laquo;Uncertain Smile&raquo;, &laquo;Perfect&raquo;, and the iconic &laquo;This Is The Day&raquo;, the album, which is Gold-certified in the UK, has been long out of print on vinyl, except as part of a limited run 30th anniversary 2 LP box set reissue in 2014. Featuring a host of talented musicians, including JG Thirwell (aka Foetus, Manorexia and Steroid Maximus), Zeke Manyika (Orange Juice), electronic DIY pioneer Thomas Leer and Jools Holland, Matt Johnson set out with a clear vision in mind &#8211; to produce an album that felt cinematic; a record of width, depth and texture and one which avoided the mundane line-up of two guitars, bass and drums.
