Westside - Athlete

The quest for Athlete singles led me to this, the band's earliest release. 'Westside' was released on 4 March 2002 on the independent Regal label. This 10" single came in a handsprayed cover with the stencil included inside the sleeve. 1000 copies were made; this is number 567. 

'Westside' was a hit, garnering airplay on BBC Radio 1 and paving the way for another single, 'You got the style' which cracked the UK singles chart in June 2002. Parlophone took notice and promptly signed the band, and this led to a successful career with three studio albums and several hit singles.
