The March
Violets
Made Glorious
on purple vinyl double-LP
The March Violets ‘difficult’ debut album Made Glorious, originally self-released to subscribers in 2013 is now on vinyl for the first time for Record Store Day as a purple 2LP. On May 26 2023, the eve of their UK and Europe tour, it’ll also be on CD and digital.
Coming to prominence in the 1980’s, the band’s six indie singles made a big impact on the indie chart, a prelude to the major-label deal they signed. The singles were compiled for successful LPs in the UK and USA – but they split before making the album they promised.
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 and finally the album Made Glorious was given a release in 2013. However, DIY economics and events intervened to restrict it to subscribers, much to the disappointment of many.
