Description
This indie-exclusive pressing of Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em Cry, Make 'Em Wait is a vibrant celebration of Stereophonics’ melodic craftsmanship and emotional range. Pressed on 180g “Coke Bottle Green” vinyl, the LP is housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with full artwork and liner notes. Produced by Kelly Jones, the album was recorded across London’s Stylus, RAK, and Metropolis Studios, and features lush string arrangements and layered instrumentation that nod to the band’s Britpop roots while embracing a more compact, introspective sound.
With only 8 tracks and a runtime of 29:42, it’s the shortest album in their discography — but critics praised its concise, filler-free approach and hopeful tone. The album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, reinforcing the band’s enduring popularity.
