Hey Colossus - RRR (2018 Expanded Edition) '2011

Tracks list

RRR was Hey Colossus’s seventh album, originally released back in 2011 by
Riot Season on CD and ridiculously limited LP. This reissue has the original LP
plus it comes with a bonus LP containing different takes and versions and a cut
that didn't make the first press. It is housed in a single 350gsm fat spined
printed sleeve with insert and download code.

THE STORY: The band had a weekend booked in at The Dropout Studio, Camberwell,
the winter of 2010. They were going to do 'some recording'. The Friday of the
weekend the six piece played a show at The Windmill in Brixton, home to the roof
dog. The show was a typical (of the time) debauched affair, in the post show
glow the band asked Jon (Notorious Hi-Fi Killers) and Leon (Shit+Shine) to come
down to the session the following day: BRING GUITARS, WHAT CAN GO WRONG?. By
noon they hadn't shown up so they got called: WHERE ARE YOU? Neither believed
the offer to be true, by 1pm they showed up with guitar + synth in tow. An hour
later RRR was being recorded by the now 8 piece band, lights down, volume up.
Over 48 hours it was done. Not a single idea was brought to the table but
somehow it all fell into place, assuming you think 'falling into place' sums up
RRR (it totally does).

The original vinyl sleeves were all handvpainted in Somerset by an artist called
Chav, they took three months to do with each one being totally unique. The
gatefold sleeves, all the inners were incredible works of art. The front and
back were stencilled. The paint was blagged from a car spray paint firm, they
sent three pallets to get the job done. A begging letter was sent to them and it
fell onto some welcoming ears. Christ knows how it all came together. These
copies are almost impossible to come by, rarely appearing anywhere. They sold
out instantly.
