Sequel to the Prequel is the third
studio album by the English band
Babyshambles. It was released on 3 September 2013 under
EMI Records. It is their first release of new material since 2007's Shotter's Nation.
Background
Originally planned to be
Pete Doherty's second solo record, the album soon became a
Babyshambles record, with all tracks being co-written by guitarist
Mick Whitnall or bassist
Drew McConnell, a first for the band. Recording began in January 2013 and included contributions from
Stereophonics drummer Jaime Morrison, as the band's previous drummer,
Danny Goffey had left in 2012. Production was handled by
Stephen Street, who produced
Babyshambles' previous studio album, Shotter's Nation, and Pete Doherty's 2009 solo effort, Grace/Wastelands.
