November 17 street date. Out of print for many years, Scritti Politti along with Rough Trade Records present the "White Bread, Black Beer" reissue. Humbly described by vocalist Green Gartside on release as "an album of me playing around in the back room... just me alone at home", "White Bread, Black Beer" was universally acclaimed. Described as "a return to the top" by The Guardian, "the best record of this restlessly self-critical career" by Uncut, and "a sophisticated, gloriously gentle thing" by Pitchfork, the record was duly nominated for the 2006 Mercury Prize (and was only pipped by Arctic Monkeys' debut).
