Now, the rare album will be pressed onto colored vinyl as part of the Black Story campaign in the UK. This year, other releases include albums from Gabrielle, Neneh Cherry, Big Youth, and The Joe Harriott Quintet.

Roaring 20s was immediately celebrated upon its release back in 2013. In a four-star Guardian review, Caroline Sullivan wrote: “Great one-liners tumble out (‘I was more confused than all John Terry’s black friends’), tunes swagger and, like the debut, the whole thing is irresistible.”

As for the Black Story campaign, it’s a breakthrough initiative created to tell the history of Black artists that shaped UK music. Universal Music Recordings (UMR) celebrate not only the culture, but the scenes, the sounds, and the artists which shaped Black UK music, shining a light on the incredible artists of the past decades moving towards the current era.

Last year, UMR announced the inaugural edition with 10 iconic albums from a selection of significant and culturally important artists on vinyl – some for the first time. The 2023 edition included releases from pioneers Aswad (Aswad), Linton Kwesi Johnson (Forces of Victory), Madeline Bell (Doin’ Things), Michael Smith (Mi Cyaan Believe It), Millie Small (The Best of Millie Small), Vivian Weathers (Bad Weathers) to the likes of Ronny Jordan Meets DJ Krush (Bad Brothers), Terri Walker (Untitled), Ms. Dynamite (A Little Deeper), and Unknown T (Rise Above Hate).
