{"product_id":"foo-fighters-the-colour-and-the-shape-2-lp-black-vinyl","title":"Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape [2 LP, Black Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on May 20, 1997, \u003cem\u003eThe Colour and the Shape\u003c\/em\u003e marked the true debut of Foo Fighters as a full band, with Dave Grohl stepping out from behind the drum kit to lead a lineup that included guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Nate Mendel, and drummer William Goldsmith. Recorded primarily at Grandmaster Recordings in Hollywood with producer Gil Norton, the album drew from Grohl's personal upheaval following his divorce, resulting in a record that balanced raw aggression with genuine emotional weight. This 2011 reissue on RCA\/Roswell Records brings the album back to vinyl as a standard black 2 LP pressing, remastered for a new generation of listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, \u003cem\u003eThe Colour and the Shape\u003c\/em\u003e moves between punishing riffs and vulnerable balladry with a confidence that few rock records of the era matched. \"Monkey Wrench\" opens the album proper with coiled energy and an explosive chorus, \"Everlong\" pairs fingerpicked verses with a full-band surge that has never lost its impact, and \"My Hero\" delivers one of Grohl's most anthemic vocal performances. The quieter \"February Stars\" and the restrained \"Walking After You\" round out a record with far more emotional range than its radio hits alone suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2011 reissue was mastered at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine, with lacquers cut at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, California. The pressing is spread across four sides of standard black vinyl, giving each side adequate groove space to maintain dynamic headroom throughout. The remastering yields a clear, punchy presentation with guitars that cut through the mix without overwhelming the low end. The result is a clean, listenable pressing of one of the decade's most enduring rock records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Vinyl 2 LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandout tracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Monkey Wrench,\" \"Everlong,\" \"My Hero\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mastered at Gateway Mastering Studios; lacquers cut at Bernie Grundman Mastering; 2011 reissue on RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\/style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative Rock, Post-Grunge, Hard Rock, Power Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 886979832213\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Colour and the Shape\u003c\/em\u003e holds up as one of the defining rock albums of its era, and this pressing delivers it with the punch and clarity the songs deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/30ly6F6Xl0TKmyBCU50Khv?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The Spotify track list may not exactly represent the tracks and audio of this LP edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide A:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoll\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMonkey Wrench\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHey, Johnny Park!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy Poor Brain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide B:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWind Up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp In Arms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy Hero\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee You\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide C:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnough Space\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFebruary Stars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEverlong\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide D:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWalking After You\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Way Home\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Foo Fighters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51497639215425,"sku":"0886979832213","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0877\/7662\/4961\/files\/foo-fighters-the-colour-and-the-shape-2-lp-vinyl-album-cover-2213.jpg?v=1773667027","url":"https:\/\/www.toucanrecords.com\/products\/foo-fighters-the-colour-and-the-shape-2-lp-black-vinyl","provider":"Toucan Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
