Cracking price and a great Stone Roses Album to have if you are a fan and have The Stone Roses / Second Coming.

Turns Into Stone is a compilation album, released in 1992. It consists of early singles and B-sides that did not feature on their self-titled debut album.

Quite why The Stone Roses chose not to put these songs on an album is a mystery, but Turns Into Stone itself was controversial at the time. In a protracted battle with record label Silvertone, the band were unable to release any new material for several years due to an injunction against them, and Turns Into Stone was released without input from the band–unlike the majority of their releases, it boasts no cover art from the guitarist, painter and sculptor John Squire.

The title is taken from the closing line in “One Love”–“What goes up must come down/Turns into dust or turns into stone.” The lyric proved prescient for The Stone Roses who split acrimoniously following the divisive Second Coming and a poorly received performance at the UK’s influential Reading Festival. It took eighteen years for the group to reunite, and when they did, they played to 220,000 people in three nights at Manchester’s Heaton Park.

    They wanted to be Led Zeppelin and while John Squire could make a decent attempt at being Jimmy Page, Ian Brown was no Robert Plant. (edited)

    I haven't seen described a worse misrepresentation of a band's music possibly ever. The first album is absolutely nothing like Led Zeppelin, the second album is more rock oriented. Love Spreads has a strong similarity with Moby Dick and In My Time of Dying by Led Zep but you can't describe the album Second Coming as aping Led Zeppelin.

    Worth 10 time the price for Mersey Paradise alone.
