Plenty It Could Be Home Vinyl Tim Bowness
Black vinyl edition in gatefold with striking artwork by Carl Glover
 
Formed in 1986, Plenty was Tim Bowness’s immediate pre-no-man band.
 
In 2016 and 2017, Bowness and fellow founder members Brian Hulse and David K Jones re-recorded Plenty's catalogue of 1980s songs.
 
Distinctively echoing then contemporary artists such as The Blue Nile, It's Immaterial and Prefab Sprout - alongside the iconic likes of David Bowie, David Sylvian and Peter Gabriel - Plenty’s music alternated between anthemic pop, poignant ballads and ambient experiments.
 
A meticulous labour of love and a fascinating hidden history, It Could Be Home was mixed and instrumentally augmented by Norwegian producer Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow). 
 
Mastered by The Pineapple Thief’s Steve Kitch, former Plenty guitarist Michael Bearpark, pianist Peter Chilvers (Brian EnoKarl Hyde) and no-man violinist Steve Bingham also contribute.
 
‘A tender unscreened pilot episode for no-man: The Series. One of those rare occasions when someone else’s old photo album is fascinating.’ - Prog Magazine
