Melody Maker said that Radiohead were like Catherine Wheel as they 'function along a similar catharsis/contrivance axis, ladling existential angst into skilfully imposing song structures.'rrAfter a contract race with Creation and Opal Records, Catherine Wheel signed to Fontana. In June 1992, they released their debut album, Ferment, which was produced by Tim Friese-Greene, who had just recently finished working with Talk Talk. Its muscular rock was often mesmeric, and its lead single Black Metallic created huge interest. The album was ranked No 23 in Pitchfork's 50 Best Shoegaze albums of all time.rrThis re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1992 Fontana UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl rrAlso included is the three-track live 12' EP, recorded at Bath Moles Club on 6 November 1991 which was is pressed onto 140g vinyl.
