Formed in 1990 in Liverpool by singer and bassist Edgar 'Summertyme' Jones, guitarist Ged Lynn and drummer Paul Maguire, THE STAIRS quickly attracted a huge cult following with their classic fusion of mid-1960s US garage rock and British R'n'B. Having nearly signed to Imaginary Records, THE STAIRS inked a deal with Go! Discs for three memorable EPs and the album MEXICAN R'n'B (1992). Despite critical acclaim and a loyal following, the album's sales were disappointing and The Stairs' second LP was abandoned after demos were recorded, only to later be exhumed by local label Viper Records. Edgar Jones subsequently carved a niche in making albums that continued to evoke the best of music's past while also remaining contemporary, attracting many heavy fans and admirers (Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller among them - Edgar played in Weller's band for a while)..Now properly collectable, with impressive price tags for all of the band's original vinyl editions, MEXICAN R'n'B is treated to its first-ever reissue, remastered with an array of bonus material across two additional CDs. The project is supported by Edgar Jones and overseen by Mojo magazine's Lois Wilson, who is closely involved with Edgar's career to this day. Includes the singles 'Weed Bus', 'Woman Gone And Say Goodbye' and 'Mary Joanna'. Disc 1 of this 3-CD Digipak is expanded with the non-album tracks from the EP editions. Discs 2 and 3 revisit the material on the Viper compilations Right In The Back Of Your Mind, Who Is This and The Great Lemonade Machine In The Sky 1987-1994.

The stairs way to heaven..
Stone cold Psychedelic classic, a must have for fans of modern psychedelia, although you would probably like this even if you like straight laced bands like the la's or even the coral, but way way better than either band.

Garage Punk Heaven
If you're a fan of 60's garage punk-esque music this is for you. Heavily influenced by the likes of Them, Pretty Things, Chocolate Watchband and bands of that kind, The Stairs actually out-punch the originals with flair. Buy with confidence!

Great CD
I bought this album when it was new. It still sounds great, lots of bonus stuff. I'm glad I bought the 3 disc set.

Se non lo avete compratelo
Grande disco. Gruppo sconosciuto ai piu’ R&B selvaggio registrato rigorosamente in mono. Sembra un gruppo anni 60. I Rolling Stones sarebbero fieri di un disco cosi’

This album rocks!
If you are a fan of r'n'roll then this album is for you, plus it has unreleased cuts as well.

last time around
gran bel dischetto di un gruppo che fa il verso al bristish invasion degli anni 60 , opera unica del gruppo di inizio anni 90, in pieno revival anni 60, sparito dopo questa incisione !!!!! in questa ristampa deluxe si può apprezzare in tutti i modi di riproporre la lovo versione del blues revival inizio anni 60 , cioè una visione completa della loro opera !!!!!

聴いてると思わず笑ってしまうロックというのはなかなか無いのではないでしょうか。60年代っぽいんですがよく聴くと60年代バンドのいいとこ取りで如何にも90年代組です。再結成したみたいなのでまた時代錯誤なアルバムを期待したいです。
