Rugby, Warwickshire, United Kingdom (1990 – present)
Spiritualized is an English rock band formed in 1990 in Rugby, Warwickshire, United Kingdom by Jason Pierce, who often goes by the alias J. Spaceman, after the spectacular demise of the Spacemen 3 outfit. The membership of Spiritualized changes from album to album, with Pierce being the only constant factor.
The first Spiritualized release was a space rock-esque cover of
Any Way That You Want Me in 1990, a record which heralded the official split of Spacemen 3 following contractual wrangles over the band’s name. Of the final Spacemen 3 line up, bassist Will Carruthers, drummer Jonny Mattock and session guitarist Mark Refoy joined Pierce in the first phase of Spiritualized (for the debut LP, Lazer Guided Melodies), alongside his then girlfriend Kate Radley. None of the original line up remains - Carruthers tried for a solo career, Mattock played for a spell in The Breeders (and later Lupine Howl), Refoy formed Slipstream(his replacement was John Coxon) and Radley married Richard Ashcroft of The Verve. A later cohort of Spiritualized backing musicians - Sean Cook, Damon Reece and Michael Mooney - formed Lupine Howl following summary dismissal by Pierce.
Sax player Ray ‘Moonshake’ Dickaty was added to the lineup in 1997, and Gregg Hale (guitar) also augmented the band in 1997 and 1998.
Retaining only keyboardist Thighpaulsandra (keyboards)a replacement for Kate Radley, Jason Pierce then debuted a new (and current) line up of Spiritualized, introducing classical percussionist Tom Edwards and former Julian Cope string arranger Martin Schellard on bass guitar.

Here's one for you.... that 3 disc special edition has the original album in a pill case, with the two bonus discs in slipcases. And they haven't remastered it, so i can keep it in a pill case. That's fine.... if they didn't restore the elvis version of the title track! Now i have to open/ruin the pill pack!! >:(

The real Elvis-mix version of Ladies & Gentlemen is so much better than the one on the album. Infact, that album wouldve been an even bigger 5 star master-work if it wasn't for those Elvis Estate folks. Still havent opened the blister-foil though, i wouldnt dare.
