Counting Crows – Recovering The Satellites (Vinyl 2LP)

By the time the Counting Crows signed to Geffen in 1993, they had already built up a significant fanbase which payed dividends upon the release of their runaway hit debut August And Everything After. Three hit singles and seven million copies later, the band returned in 1996 with the stunning Gil Norton-produced follow-up Recovering the Satellites. Featuring a darker, heavier sound and more introspective lyrics, compelling and emotive material like “A Long December,” “Angels of the Silences” and “Daylight Fading” found the band truly coming into their own amidst the mid-’90s alt-rock craze and its No. 1 Billboard showing proved that not only was their debut no fluke but they were just getting started.
