Now that copies are exchanging hands for £40 on Discogs, Claremont 56 thought it time to re-issue the first classic album of Smith & Mudd, 'Blue River'

Remastered and featuring two exclusive bonus tracks, Blue River is a spine-tingling and evocative mixture of the organic and the electronic, the past and the future. It’s an album you will want to hear again and again and as you listen more you will begin to notice the subtelty of the production, the clarity of the guitars, the warmth of the bass guitars, even the vivid colours the music paints in your mind while you listen.

Blue River is a beautiful collaboration between Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy and the mysterious Mr Smith, classicly trained guitarist and member of rock band, Movedrill. The album also features some incredible guitar work from Bob Klose, a founding member of Pink Floyd.
