One of the most iconic albums to hail from Merseyside. HMS Fable was the third LP released from Shack following 1988’s Zilch, and 95’s Waterpistol. A collection of majestic storytelling in guitar form, written by two extraordinarily talented brothers, Michael and John Head. The album was handed the number 2 slot in both NME and Uncut’s critics album of the year polls, only missing out to The Flaming Lips’ The Soft Bulletin in both. First time on vinyl and originally released on Laurel Records/London Records in 1999
