Sam Roberts - Chemical City Redux

Sam Roberts returned with his second record in 2006. Chemical City received praise for its often stripped-down approach to classic rock, and contains the singles "The Gate", "Bridge To Nowhere", and "With a Bullet". This remastered 15th anniversary edition includes four previously unreleased bonus tracks known as The Lost Side.

Describing The Lost Side and the making of the album, Sam Roberts shared, “Somewhere in all of the chaos of creating the album, a few of the songs were left behind. Either unmixed, unfinished or lost… Chemical City was released in 2006, ten songs and one blank side and has lived that way ever since." He continued, “the truth is that there is a fourth side with songs and characters that complete the story. These songs are Major Minor (previously unreleased), Fall Before You Finish (previously released as a bonus track, now remixed and including missing tracks), The Cathedral (previously unreleased, was lost and found…) and Step Inside (previously released as a Japanese single, now remixed including missing tracks).”
