Their Silvertone singles are also being reissued - one a week - on 7” vinyl and digitally with their original sleeve artwork. Starting with ‘Elephant Stone’ on the 6 July, the set culminates with the bands first top five hit, the epic ‘One Love’, and due to demand Sony will also release ‘Fools Gold’ on CD.
