Spiritualized have announced a vinyl reissue of their 1997 album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.

For the third instalment of the band's The Spaceman Reissue Program, Spiritualized will reissue a vinyl version of 1997's Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.

The announcement is accompanied by an uncensored version of their "Come Together" video.

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, which was the last album to feature former member Kate Radley, will follow previous vinyl reissues of their Lazer Guided Melodies and Pure Phase albums.

Jason Pierce says of the album, "I like Pure Phase the best of these four records, but people still say Ladies and Gentlemen is where everything kind of came together. I’m still astounded by both records, where they don’t let up. There’s no kind of curfew. Or no “you can’t stay on that section for that length of time”. They sit on where they arrive and stay there, and I found that kind of amazing. The abstract parts were just as beautiful as these kind of pop / simplistic nursery rhyme ideas and they were no less important."

Spiritualized will release the vinyl reissue of Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space on 10 September via Fat Possum Records. It's available to pre-order now from uk-store.fatpossum.com.
