Multi-platinum Scottish rock band Travis appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Showwith a performance of their major hit single “Sing” from the iconic album The Invisible Band. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the worldwide chart topping record, a special deluxe box set reissue is out now on Craft Recordings. The electric performance of “Sing” took place inside the historic Saint Luke’s Church in Glasgow, with glowing stained-glass windows shining in as the backdrop. Clarkson showed her appreciation for the musical guests, citing the longevity of Travis’ career as a “mainstay on the British rock scene for decades.”
The Invisible Band serves as a major landmark for Travis, who found themselves in the bright limelight of success following the album’s release. The record debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, enjoying four weeks in the top spot and a total of twenty-five weeks in the Top 100. Meanwhile in the US, the album held rank on the Billboard 200 Chart for seven weeks. In the year following the release of The Invisible Band, Travis were recognized with a 4x platinum certification; solidifying their status as global sensations.
The band were already household names with their previous album The Man Whowinning the titles of British Group and British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards, as well as NME’s award for Artist of the Year. Then the arrival of The Invisible Band only expanded their reputation, as Travis went on to win Band of the Year at the coveted GQ Awards in New York, and yet another Brit Award for British Group of the Year.
The long-lasting imprint of The Invisible Band is still very much alive today. Travis inspired a league of other bands alongside the Brit-pop movement, including the likes of Keane and Coldplay, whose Chris Martin has been publicly outspoken on the impact of Travis, deeming them as “the band that invented my band and lots of others.”
The deluxe reissue of The Invisible Band features the original album remastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Emily Lazar, all the original B-sides and a selection of completely unreleased demos, live sessions and alternate takes.
A special limited-edition 20th Anniversary box set features the material across two CDs and two 180-gram heavyweight, ultra-clear vinyl LPs, cut at London’s Air Studios. The set includes an extensive book with unseen session photography, handwritten lyrics and essays from the band plus contributions from the original producer Nigel Godrich. A limited number of hand-numbered prints, signed by all four of the band, are available via the Travis official store here.
The Invisible Band reissue is also available on standard black vinyl for the first time on the format since its original release. A limited green vinyl pressing is available via independent record stores, as well as a 2-CD standard edition.
