THE STONE ROSES: “Turns Into Stone” 2LP. Released 29th August 2025
Sony 2025 2LP reissue of ‘Turns Into Stone’, the 1992 compilation consists of early singles and B-sides that did not feature on their self-titled debut album. The album was the first to feature ‘Fools Gold’..
The album’s release was surrounded by controversy, as the Roses were in the middle of a legal battle with their then-record label, Silvertone. An injunction prevented the band from releasing any new material for several years afterward, during which Silvertone re-released many singles, including two separate versions of “Fools Gold”, and releasing stand-alone singles from the first album that were not intended to be singles (such as the edited version of “I Am the Resurrection” featuring a drum machine instead of Reni’s distinctive drumming).
Despite this, the album is seen in a positive light by Roses fans because it collects the extended versions of many of their best-known non-album songs onto one CD, before a best-of compilation was even available.
The title of the album is taken from the final lines of One Love: “What goes up must come down/Turns into dust or turns into stone”.
In August 2009 the album’s tracks were remastered by John Leckie and included as “The B-sides” on the 20th anniversary collectors edition re-release of The Stone Roses self-titled debut album.
