The Stone Roses - Sally Cinnamon [35th Anniversary, Clear]

Released in 1987, "Sally Cinnamon" is widely acknowledged as the moment the Stone Roses truly found their identity. Departing from the punkier energy of their earliest material, this single introduced the world to the band’s signature "shimmer"—a blend of John Squire’s jangly, 60s-inspired guitar work and Ian Brown’s melodic, whispered vocals. It remains one of the most beloved tracks in their catalog, famously cited by Noel Gallagher as the song that inspired him to join a band.

Recorded before bassist Mani joined the group, the track features original bassist Pete Garner and captures a raw, innocent optimism that defines the pre-Madchester era. This 12" vinyl edition includes the extended single mix, the quintessential B-sides "Here It Comes" and "All Across The Sands," and, in recent deluxe pressings, rare live recordings from 1987. With iconic artwork that predates the band's later Pollock-style "action paintings," this release is an essential piece of history for any collector wanting to hear "the start of it all."
