Self-produced in 2009, Nature + Degree was the first SXXV project to feature new members Stephen Stringer and Stuart Hill. Founder members Larry and Vin Cassidy are also joined on several tracks by Beth Cassidy, whose vocal style recalls that of her late mother Jenny on From the Hip and Love & Hate. Now released on vinyl for the very first time, pressed on purple vinyl to match the cover art, which references a 1933 design by Alfredo Cavadini.
