In the wake of the Revelators' critically acclaimed second album The Adventures of the Amazing Revelators, Head Records and Shock are very happy to present the long awaited rerelease of the band's out of print debut album Amazing Stories. The Revelators story started in the late 80's when Joe Camilleri, along with friends James Black and Joe Creighton, took to the stage as 'The Delta Revelators'. Initially a side project for the players, the word on The Revelators gigs soon spread, and the question of a recording was raised. Inspired by Joe's encyclopaedic knowledge of good music, songs from artists like the Burrito Bros., Jr Walker and Dylan were respectfully resur- rected and reinterpreted. The result was Amazing Stories . The album was recorded and released in 1991 at the height of the Black Sorrows’ Triple Platinum successes (Hold On To Me and Harley & Rose) and still everyone in The Revelators agreed it was the best album they had ever made. The fans felt the same and the album has become a must have title for any roots music aficionado’s collection. Amazing Stories 2001 has been fully remastered and includes two previ- ously unreleased bonus tracks recorded during the original 1991 sessions - Jimmy Reed's 'Honest I Do', and the country classic 'Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down'. To celebrate the rerelease of Amazing Stories The Revelators will be on tour for the first two weeks of August. Stay tuned for full touring details. The Revelators’ Amazing Stories is available now on Head Records thru Shock.
