The March Violets 'Made Glorious' CD

THE MARCH VIOLETS ‘Made Glorious’ The March Violets ‘difficult’ debut album, originally self-released in 2013, now on vinyl for the first time and CD with wider distribution - on the eve of their 2023 tour.

Coming to prominence in the 1980’s, the band’s six indie singles made a big impact on the indie chart, and were a prelude to the major-label deal. The singles were compiled for successful UK and USA albums – but the album they threatened never appeared.

Twenty-five years later, original band-members reconvened for tours of the UK and USA. A single and video of Dandelion King was issued in 2011. Unfinished business included an album, and Made Glorious was given a release in 2013. However, DIY economics and events intervened to make it a restricted, limited Pledge Music CD album, much to the disappointment of many.

For the first time, The March Violets ‘difficult first album’ is now to be released on double vinyl, CD and streaming services. The line-up is Rosemary Garland, Si Denbigh, Joanna Moy and Tom Ashton.

The 2LP vinyl was a Record Store Day release in the UK on April 22 2023 and now the CD in a card gatefold sleeve follows, just prior to their UK and Europe live dates (below), on May 26.
