}} ''The Stone Roses'' is the debut album by English rock band The Stone Roses, released in May 1989 by Silvertone Records. The group recorded most of the album at Battery Studios in London with producer John Leckie. Although ''The Stone Roses'' was not an immediate success, its standing improved significantly among most critics, many of whom have since voted it high in polls of the greatest albums of all time. ==Background== The Stone Roses formed in 1983 and released a handful of singles on several different labels. The band came from Manchester, where the so-called Madchester movement was centred. Despite not considering themselves part of this scene, their eponymous début brought them nationwide success along with such Madchester groups as Inspiral Carpets and Happy Mondays. The Stone Roses recorded their self-titled debut album with John Leckie, a producer who had worked with Pink Floyd on ''Meddle''. It was released by Silvertone, a division of Zomba Records created to work with "new rock" acts.〔Strong, C. Martin. ''The Great Rock Discography.'' Crown, 2006.〕 The album was recorded primarily at Battery Studios in London, with additional sessions at Konk and Rockfield Studios. The band played several high-profile gigs supporting the album, including one at what was regarded as the centre of the "Baggy"/"Madchester" scene, Manchester's The Haçienda nightclub. Andrew Collins wrote in ''NME'': "Bollocks to Morrissey at Wolverhampton, to The Sundays at The Falcon, to PWEI at Brixton – I'm already drafting a letter to my grandchildren telling them that I saw The Stone Roses at the Haçienda." The Stone Roses' 1990 Spike Island gig, organised by the band and attended by over 27,000 fans, also holds a formidable reputation. Critics have frequently labelled it the 'Woodstock of the baggy generation'.〔''Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop''.
