In 1989, Ian Broudie started his own project having seen much success as a producer and musician. This new project was the Lightning Seeds and debut single Pure was the first song Ian had ever written and sung himself. It became their first UK Top 20 hit. “I owe everything to ‘Pure’. I’ll always be grateful for it. This song has been a weird life-changing miracle for me. It was a miracle that I wrote it in the first place. I had no infrastructure whatsoever – no band, no promotion, no proper record deal. It changed my life forever, so I’m really happy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its release and the start of the Lightning Seeds with this limited edition 10” record”. This 10” yellow vinyl marks the 35th anniversary of Pure & Lightning Seeds. It includes 4 tracks all recorded in 1989, including All I Want which was released as a single in 1990, The Nearly Man and Flaming Sword.
