In January 2025, Acid Jazz released ‘Heard Noises’, the latest album from Matt Berry. It was met
with all-round acclaim, with wild sell-out Q&A sessions at Rough Trade, and an incredible buzz
among fans and critics alike, as it immediately climbed to #22 on the Official UK Charts.
In the restless mind of Matt Berry, there was more of a story to be told around the
album. Throughout the year he has worked with a number of his favourite people to create this
Super Deluxe edition, which provides a new and definitive take on the album and its recording
process.
Presented in a beautiful lift-off-lid boxset with new artwork, this ultimate ‘Heard Noises’
experience is limited to 1000 copies and contains the following beautifully curated components:
HEARD NOISES: Half-Speed Master Version. A new version of the album half-speed mastered at
Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell. This process provides a unique and extremely high fidelity
listening experience, giving a distinct perspective on the album. It is presented in a redesigned
gatefold and printed inner sleeve.
BONUS TRACKS: A four-track twelve-inch vinyl EP, featuring the four bonus tracks from the
sessions, including a previously unreleased cover of Beach House's 'Lover Of Mine’, featuring the
vocals of Celia Fage. The other tracks are Snake Organ’ and ‘Screaming Walls’, which were only
available on a limited retail CD, and ‘Crucifix Lane’ which appeared on an Acid Jazz compilation.
REMIXES: An eight-track vinyl album featuring remixes of ‘Heard Noises’ tracks by the likes of
Tennis, Midfield General, Moog Cookbook, Andy Votel, Rodeo Clown, Project Gemini, Brian Kehew
and Sean Ono Lennon. These explore the sonic landscape of the album and wander off into some
exciting new vistas. The Moog Cookbook team present their first remix in over 25 years, and
Tennis totally recast ‘Wedding Photo Stranger’.
REMIX PICTURE DISC: One album was too small to contain all of the brilliant remixes, so in an Acid
Jazz first, also included is a picture disc 7-inch single that includes an extra mix by Sean Ono Lennon
and Project Gemini respectively.
64 PAGE MAKING OF HEARD NOISES HARDBACK BOOK: A beautiful boxset-exclusive tome that is
adorned with regular Matt Berry collaborator Ben Meadows' full colour photographs of the studio
and instruments that were used in the making of the album, alongside a detailed commentary of
what they are and what they mean to Matt. The book also rounds up the Rough Trade in-store
promotional tour that launched the album, and Matt's trip to Abbey Road Studios to cut the half-
speed master.
POSTERS: Two high quality posters, showing the promotional adverts for the cassette and 8 Track
cartridge version of the album
SIGNED PROMOTIONAL PHOTOGRAPH: Included in every box set, is a promotional photograph
signed personally by Matt Berry.
