About
Garage Flower was recorded in mid 1985 and was produced by Martin Hannett, collecting the band's early songs. The album wasn't released at the time because the band were not satisfied with the album's production and it's songs. Some regard the production as being of poor quality, particularly with regard to bass. Their self titled album was the band's proper debut 4 years later. Garage Flower album was finally released in 1996 by Garage Flower, without the band's permission. The album contains previously unavailable early songs, and early versions of "I Wanna Be Adored" and "This Is the One". The album's title is taken from a lyric in track 11, Tell Me.

"Garage Flower" is a collection of recordings The Stone Roses made in 1985 with producer Martin Hannett. The group's original intention was to release an album with the material, but they were unhappy with the resulting songs and Hannett's production and shelved the sessions (a handful of songs were rearranged when bassist Mani joined the group, and rerecorded in different form on the group's 1989 self-titled debut album.) The 1985 recordings also included the songs "So Young" and "Tell Me", which formed the Stone Roses' debut single, released that year. In 1996, the record label Silvertone — who were reviled by the band — created a sublabel, Garage Flower Records, and released these Martin Hannett session recordings against the band's wishes.
