The Stone Roses have climbed to Number 1 on this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart.

The band’s seminal 1989 self-titled debut vaults 16 places on this week’s tally following its recent reissue on the format.

The record, which has been remastered from the original tapes for its limited edition vinyl release, originally peaked at Number 19 on the Official Albums Chart.

The album has been reissued a number of times since then, reaching a new peak at Number 5 in 2009. View The Stone Roses' full Official Chart history here.

Further down the chart, Brandon Flowers’ latest album The Desired Effect is new at 9, and three Morrissey albums enter the Top 20; Vauxhall And I (Number 12), Your Arsenal (13) and Viva Hate (14).
