#NtionalVelvet had a sequel, #InternationalVelvet. Did it have any prequels, like #LocalVelvet or #CountyAndRegionalVelvet?

International Velvet is the second album by Welsh band Catatonia. It was the band's breakthrough, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and spawning two top 10 singles, "Mulder and Scully" and "Road Rage". #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #catatonia #internationalvelvet #cerysmatthews
That car wreck scene was something! Loved watching the dummies (literally and figuratively) bouncing around before they blew up. #InternationalVelvet. So... that was the extent of that whole sequence on the plot? 😆#TCMParty
Mom is watching #InternationalVelvet. Was it very blurry for everyone? I thought I had on old glasses. TCM usually looks better. Maybe the movie was shot through a Vasaline filter? #TCMParty
Catatonia - ‘International Velvet’
An absolute cracker of an album.
This is the 2023 limited recycled vinyl reissue.
A thing of beauty!

Happy St David’s Day - Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🌼 🏴
#NowPlaying #Catatonia & their 1998 UK No 1 album #InternationalVelvet
It had huge hits like #MulderandScully & #RoadRage (tho #GameOn was always my fave) - a time when #Welsh bands inundated the charts as part of #CoolCymru

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant pawb! A song for the day - from 1999, when Welsh rugby was in better shape.

This is a great read if you were there in the 90’s and a deep dive into the Welsh musical explosion in that glorious decade if you were not. It’s focus is rich across the plethora of talent Wales offered up and not just a narrow narrative of the big 2 or 3 bands #Booksky #Books #InternationalVelvet

I took this #portrait of the amazing #CerysMatthews from #Catatonia at the old BBC Studios in Cardiff in 1998.
That day their album #InternationalVelvet was at No.1 in the charts.
