- Order ‘1977’ splatter vinyl here: ashband.lnk.to/1977ID
Ash’s debut LP ‘1977’ has been reissued for the first time on stunning black and white splatter vinyl. This spectacular debut release was a defining record for 90s guitar music, reaching No.1 in the Official UK Albums Chart, and going to achieve platinum status. It includes singles ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Kung Fu’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Angel Interceptor’ and ‘Oh Yeah’ which remain staples of the Ash’s live show.
This is the first time the album has been re-issued since its 1996 release.
After 3 months in Rockfield Studios with maverick Oasis producer Owen Morris Ash emerged with their debut album ‘1977’. Released ahead of the chart topping ‘1977’, ‘Goldfinger’ was the band’s first single to enter the UK Top 5 in April 1996.
Influenced by the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson’s nutso chord changes, and John Barry’s James Bond themes, ‘Goldfinger’ was written across three continents; Tim’s childhood bedroom in Downpatrick, through jetleg induced insomnia in a Japanese hotel room, and on the road in North America.
The video was directed by Mike Brady and filmed in London.

#ash #1977 #goldfinger - เพลง
When I close my eyes and listen to this song, I am 16 again. :)
I heard this song when I was 5 years old 😭😭😭
#Nostalgic
Me too.
I was 15 time flys
Iam 86 again just like in 1996.
Born 1979, I had the cassette of this and almost wore it out on my personal Aiwa. Happy days.
This song is what falling in love in the 90s felt like (at least how I remember it).
Oh yes
@@annettepugh5060 SHE WAS TAKING ME OVER
Same here.
Yes!
Oh my god, it literally is!
People often say 'I'm most happy at the age I am now'. I say bollocks. Life will never get better than drinking late at summer's night as a 17 year old listening to Ash.
Fucking sublime. It's all donwhill from there!
It is twelve years now. How do you look back at your statement, if I may ask?
Bleak, hope you found something to give you purpose
I agree it's all downhill from 17, peaked at that age
one of the most underrated songs ever written, incredible production and harmony, lyrics. always resonates with me and is such a massive pop production. should be vastly more respected by the music community.

Calm down.
@@andrewmay1299God forbid someone be enthusiastic about their interests...
It's a really stunning song tbh, a masterpiece
its just one of my favorites and i just think it really captures a few different things in pop music. i can see how some would not agree. i think it's basically a form of perfection for this era of "brit-pop" music@@andrewmay1299
This Band should have been much bigger so good they are.🎸
That mid verse key change still makes me happy!
I always wait for that part!
That key change is life!
90's Oasis vs Blur Vs Pulp. But Ash were bloody brilliant. So many good bands in the 90s it's insane.
There needs to be an Indie Tour put together with all of them! It'd be absolute stellar!!
Don't forget Oscean Colour Scene
Encapsulates those feeling of falling in love at college back in 1996 so distinctly.
Still holds up - a classic, timeless song from a band which is sadly underrated. Saw them play in Portland, Oregon yesterday in front of 30 people but 25 of us sang to every song and Tim, Mark and Rick were still loving playing the music they wrote as teenagers.
Up the 90's!
One of the best songs of mid 90’s. no hold on, one of the best songs ever! Period. Happy days, when British/Irish music was in a place of it’s own. Hope those days return……….
SO ROMANTIC AND EUPHORIC YET WISTFUL.
I loved the key changes in this song. Loved the mid-90s in general too, when the charts were mostly just indie vs dance. The charts died in 2001 with Popstars / Hear'Say, and other reality TV sheep that followed thereafter.
yes, and once was better than today, they will repeat this speech about 2016 in ten years
+Samuel Saia How bad will the music have to be in a decade that this decade will seem good?
@@ngkktht774 You speak the truth friend. That is exactly what I think too.
Agreed. The chords are so strangely arranged. This isn't just a banger (which it is), it's kind of a strange number for a leadoff single. A top 5 hit in the UK no less. Loved 1977. Such a great great album.
@@NiGhTeMpEsT no they won't. Nobody is repeating it about 2010, or 2005. Music has mostly sucked since the turn of the century.
Tim Wheeler's shirt is fantastic, even by 1996's standards. This album was a 90s Brit rock masterpiece, a truly excellent band. Ash, I salute you.
I bought it blindly because of the title and was pleasantly surprised. 1977 was a good year for me. It even had a song referencing Star Wars, Darkside Lightside. (in 1996 Star Wars fandom was dead). th-cam.com/video/XAXa1_Az2bg/w-d-xo.html

Can't beat Tim Wheeler and the boys. Cj
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
2022 and still loving it 💖💖
this song reminds me one of the most thoughtless and happy times of my life...
teenhood, so sweet and so cruel...
The Vocalist was 20 years old when He sang this Nostalgic Song
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the best songs of the 90’s. How do these lyrics seem to nail everything about being young and in love?
I've only just gotten into Ash. I don't know how I missed it for so long, I've just been listening to the strokes for the last 10 years because nothing was grabbing my attention
ash are the ultimate summer band, and make you feel happy even when its pissing down...i love them for that alone..and many other reasons!!
This song is how the 90s tasted.
Still so epic
so much great music in the 90's that this wasn't very popular, yet if it came out today it'd be the best rock song in years
This is the best comment on TH-cam... I've never thought of it like that before !! Very very true !
Brings back all my good old days & memories in the 90's. I was a teenager, I miss it so much...
Same
Beautiful song, I was always disappointed Ash never broke here in the US.
I found this CD as a pre-release in Picadilly records, Manchester... in 1996/7 I think, a great find. ❤
What a tuuuune! One of the best from the 90s. Ash were very underrated.
Phenomenal 🤩
Am I 90's generation too when i was born in 1998? I'd love to.. I love this music!
"Her brother started school again today..." One of those lyrics that manages to mean nothing and everything at the same time.
Ahahah so true
Do you think this is her excuse? She's lying and she never turns up. She's used this excuse before..?
@@tyrionlannister6955 Hmm, possibly. Although the next line - "a thought to pass the time, to occupy my mind while I waited for her" works in context with her - she's got under his skin so much, he can't stop thinking about the smallest details of her life
Thank you 💕
It's just a thought to pass the time. No iPhones back then. Beautiful.
Music like this really goes to show the '90s were truly epic.
I was 14 in 1996, just getting into music, finding my sound. As such I feel blessed that '96 was such a fantastic year for music. Weird to think that in years to come, people will be saying the same about this decade, getting all nostalgic and misty eyed, even though 90% of todays output is naff...
and now I sound like my dad. I give up!
Agreed that it was an amazing time, This,Failure,Hum ,Type O Negative..Music never really came back that strong.
As the saying goes, "90% of X is rubbish because 90% of everything is rubbish". Over time people forget the 90% that was rubbish. Then again I remember there *was* a lot of good stuff, at least in the UK it stood out because Radio One suddenly started playing this sort of stuff.
Brilliant tune this. Mad key changes
The backing vocals/harmonies on the last few choruses just make it.
They guys deserved the same popularity as Blur IMO. I met Tim at a coffee spot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Great guy. 👍🏼
Such a handsome lad, so young & puppy like. Growing old sux, & pretty ppl seem 2 wear it the hardest. Still, in their day, Ash had it going on. Saw them live at the 1996 Livid Festival in Brisbane, Australia & they totally kicked ass. He was the best looking boy I'd seen in a mighty long time, which made up for his frail voice...
...& I just realized how LONG AGO that was...............
....OMG!!!... where did the years go?
Killer drum fills.
This song brings back memories id forgotten that I had...
I was on Portabello Rd and it came in my head. I ran in a shop..described it as "that tune that undulates with those rising chord changes? ??" ...assistant said "oh Goldfinger Ash" ..I ran n gottit lol
This has to be one of the greatest Britpop songs ever, love the dramatic chord changes. So sad how music has deteriorated since 2000…
Just need to search for it
100% agree. Sure, maybe they were a one-hit wonder, but that one hit was better than every other British song that decade (MAYBE - I have a thing for trip hop so I can't say absolutely), so fuck it.
@@shitsumeilegumovitchAsh were definitely not a one hit wonder😅
Very under-rated band, like Shed Seven and Teenage Fanclub.
If you dont love Ash then you dont rate great songs
I have not heard this in so long, I was 14 in 96 and this song has always made me feel good.
I was 14 in ‘96 too man!!!’ Rock on ‘82 gang 🤘🏻
majestic drums sound
First time i watched Goldfinger on MTV it blows my mind. Saw ash live at Batchkapp in Frankfurt. After playing this song i have to go to the hospital cause i jumped with the music up and down and i twist my ankle. After years still got a small scar. Hope it will never disapear.
Oh the memories...reminds me of college and revising for my A Levels.
Brillant tune
Brillant album
Brillant band
Great times = 90's
Awwww man, I love 90's music videos. The flashes, the skewed camera pans. Classic. Oh and lets not forget the classic woman-looking-lonely-in-black-and-white scenario.
Ash are such an underrated band. Huge in the 90s but (wrongly) not remembered in the same way as Oasis and so on. This and "Girl From Mars" are absolute chooooooooons
a masterpiece a masterpiece
Bring back the 90's!
This song is emotionally haunting 4 me...
Very spexial one
It's good for the soul to come back to this every so often. Thank you Ash
If I could hear this in 4K my head would explode 🇺🇸👍🇨🇮
When I listen to this again it’s almost like time has stood still.
90's Music ❤
What a song sound track to my teens
Heavenly Melody
This is such an underated tune
How fking good is this song 14 years later
25 years since I heard this on Shine 4 on a family holiday. A quarter of a century!
The quality of songs on this album was insane for people who were only just 18/19.
Ash were special
90's music.. will miss it forever..
Great 🎵 👍 I miss the 90s the music was great.
One of the greatest songs that pretty much no one's heard.
I like this song,like Ash grup since 2000.😊😎🤘🤘
1996 - my childhood at age 10.
1996 - my childhood at age 5 .
2022 and I still love this!!!
Ahh great memories of my teenhood...loved this band. 1977 is still one of the great britpop albums
tim is timeless!
GREAT TUNE, GREAT BAND.
Great song. So under rated as a band. Saw them last year and they were amazing.
True
Ikr
If you’re a certain age, this is upsettingly good.
Oh yeah
Brilliant song
i was 4 when this came out and it was on a cd for Q magazine. we played it in the car on holiday in switzerland, don't know how i remember that far back lol. but it's a sentimental song..
Loved this band. In mid -late 90's ,- early 2000's Tim's underrated as a songwriter for such a young guy. Great album also.
I got some records on and some bottles of wine// the rain is LASHING down
Wow, this was my favourite song ever in 1996. I had good taste back then. This brought back memories.
You did. I only discovered this song years later, but it's one of the best
Tune! Brings back great memories from a great era of indie!
Gives me chills....still been late teens🖤🖤🖤🖤very cool tune still......sooo underated asf
What a song.! Loved it in the 90s and love it now. I could listen to this and Blinded by the Sun-Seahorses all day.
The tape from the library. I was sure I left that back , they wrote me letter's, I went down to argue my case and say that I had DEFINITELY left that tape back. 4 years later leaving for Liverpool, I found it in my drawer... I never went back to tell them. I feel shit when I think about it and I still don't know where the tape is. One of the best songs of all time. Mine and yours.
What a year 1996 was with tunes like This.
Music was ace,
Oasis played knebworth & we had Euro 96 football.
Good memories.
2021 and still sounding as fresh as the day it was released!
This song still gives me chills - just like when I first heard it almost 13 years ago!!!! A masterpiece!
Still giving u chills?
@@theheavylightshovel7399 I'm back to say, it still does!
@@LylaRox yaaaasss!! Welcome back😂
@@theheavylightshovel7399 Thank you! It's so weird to look at my comments from 12 years ago! Thanks for replying which prompted me to respond. Still really loving this song!
@@LylaRox you’re welcome, yeah it’s a classic, time flies lol
Masterpiece !
Aahhh 90's... .broke but im happy,smokin low quality weed and cheap beer..now im drinkin fancy wine but cant compares that good old day..
An all time favourite. It reminds me of various times in my life.
This was the first Ash song I was listened to.Awsome song.
awesome rock song. my favouirite ash song, this song is so damm underrated, one of the all time underrated rock bands ash is. i was 10 years old when this track first came out loved it then still do now, there is not too many rock songs like this one too underrated.
We think the same😀😀😀😀
I was 20 when this came out but never heard this on the radio ,,,iv only got to see the video a few times on MTV 120 min
Does anyone remember listening to these guys on BBC Radio 1?
90's when we peaked as a species
I'm pretty sure that this is my favourite song EVER!
Happy 25th to this gem
"on the stormy night - the rain came crashing down" - a perfect song that i will never time tire of - Bless
set my mind on fire
Tim Wheeler was just a kid here and had so much talent! I remember I was just a few years younger than these guys when I heard them and being in awe. Here, I am approaching middle-age, still playing guitar, still don´t have that much talent.
As an old guy (now) in love with the song, it's so weird to see how young he was. How young we all were. What a time to be alive. If only we'd realised then (okay, not we, me).
The best ever Ash tune
Memories
2020 I still love this since 1996!@! from south korea .. goldfinger is my inspiration song though i drank soju toomuch
