With legendary producer Wayne Connolly at the helm, the band produced their most commercially successful album to date. “Size” saw the band refine their sound with “subtlety and restraint’ but still paired with their trademark guitar riffs, Greg Atkinson (Vocals, Guitar) took his melodies and lyrics to another level, at times the songs are paired back to enable them to come to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded and mixed to tape on one of the last Neve analogue consoles (as mythologised in the Sound City documentary) to operate in Australia’s golden era of sound engineering. Whilst these tapes are now lost to time, fortunately prior to the album release in 2001 (via Jebediah’s label Redline Records), a flat transfer of the analogue tapes was made to digital audio tape, preserving them for the future.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFast forward to 2023 and Big Heavy Stuff has made this available to produce a remastered version of Size of the Ocean. Chris Hanszek (Hanszek Audio) has taken the original transfer and remastered the album to suit the analogue formats of vinyl and cassette (for the first time) as well as a digital download. As a reflection of the quality of the original recording and mix, the album only required minimal intervention to update it for the 2023 release.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maximise the fidelity of the new vinyl release, the album is now split over a limited-edition double vinyl (one disc in translucent blue and the other in translucent yellow), which allowed space to include some additional tracks on side D. 3 tracks, originally seen on the “Mutiny” EP (2003), now close out the last side of the double album. A very limited-edition cassette version of the album will also be released, featuring the original album tracks only. Mark Gowing (formist), who originally designed the artwork for the CD release has updated the original art for display on a gatefold cover.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinyl album release will be pressed in Australia by Suitcase Records.

There is also room for his usual biting social commentary.On the album we also find a tribute to one of his musical influences, ‘Let’s Do It Again’ by Sonic’s Rendezvous Band (with the participation of Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith, ex-MC5).This great LP reflects the simple spirit of the Rifles’ rock’n’roll with catchy choruses and signature guitars, with another part that they began to play with after this album, a more experimental and introspective side.This album can be rated a 14 out of 14.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpirits\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKev The Head\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrickin’ Around\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiving What I Dream\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCity Of Hope\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeams\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBig World\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhatever You Want\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKathy Says\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiamond Sky\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCuttin’ It Fine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Gift\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLet’s Do It Again\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpaceman In A Satin Suit\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Celibate Rifles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41599516147795,"sku":"8435008876692","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1417\/6406\/files\/Chaputa-Celibate-Rifles-A-Spaceman-In-a-Satin-Suit-LP.jpg?v=1712882865"},{"product_id":"of-skins-and-heart","title":"Of Skins And Heart","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"ol1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eFor A Moment We're Strangers    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eChrome Injury    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eThe Unguarded Moment   \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eMemories In Future Tense    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eBel-Air   \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eIs This Where You Live    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eShe Never Said    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eFighter Pilot...Korean War    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003eDon't Open The Door To Strangers\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOTHER INFO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eReleased -\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e 13 April 1981\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLabel -\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e EMI Parlophone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGenre -\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Rock, Alternative Rock, Australian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Church","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41914321961043,"sku":"602458958331","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1417\/6406\/files\/church.png?v=1717721964"},{"product_id":"dear-friends-and-enemies-pre-order","title":"Dear Friends And Enemies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReleases December 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final Big Heavy Stuff album. and their definitive statement gets a first time on vinyl release from the great Love As Fiction label!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeralded by the epic -
