No matter which metric you
use, The Feelers debut album Supersystem can only be described as a stone cold Kiwi classic. Unleashed in August
’98, Supersystem rushed
the charts, debuting at number two before taking down the prized number one spot a
week later. Remarkably it stuck around in the Top 10 for 28 weeks, sold 83,000+
copies and went 5 x
platinum thanks to the continued release of cracking singles
and an epic live show that continually won over new fans every time the band
took the stage. It’s little wonder that Supersystem was awarded the highest
honour of being 1999s
Album of the Year at the New Zealand Music
Awards.
Now, the album is being reissued. Thanks to a new re-master it sounds bigger
and better than before. Released on October
30 the reissue of Supersystem is available on CD and Digital formats and, for the first time ever, will also
come out on Double LP Vinyl. All formats also include an additional four bonus
tracks from The Feelers vaults.
With the release of Supersystem in 1998 The Feelers’ live shows quickly became legendary, with their summer tours becoming an
anticipated fixture on the calendars of their dedicated fanbase. In honour of
the reissue of this iconic classic they’ll be hitting the road again this
summer to celebrate.
