Aziz Ibrahim – Lahore to Longsight

Imagine an album where various members of The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Paul Weller, Style Council, Primal Scream, Talvin Singh.

Fundamental & Asia came together to help a friend make his debut album! The twist to the tale, this now 25 year old album was never released! Such is the album by guitar virtuoso Aziz Ibrahim formerly of The Stone Roses, Simply Red & Asia.

Fast forward to 2026 & after this piece of British Asian History has sat on display in Manchester Museum’s South Asia Gallery, now finally comes to fruition on vinyl.

Thanks to Indus Records, the original tapes recorded across studios in the UK were lovingly restored and remastered at Lundgaard Studios in Denmark.

The release is a collector’s dream: a double gatefold vinyl featuring striking black and white discs, including three additional tracks from the rare 7” & 12” EP “Middle Road” —an early glimpse of what was to come.

A piece of history & exclusive release for Record Store Day.

“Lahore to Longsight' never reached the world as intended, its release derailed by the events of 9/11.

What started as a deeply personal solo project nurtured by friends who helped bring the songs to life, unexpectedly grew into a band with Andy Rourke (The Smiths) on bass and Mike Joyce (The Smiths) on drums—an experience that still feels surreal.

Now, 25 years on in 2026 following the passing of Denise Johnson, Andy Rourke, and Mani, it feels important to finally share this long-hidden chapter of British Asian musical history.” -Aziz Ibrahim.
