LABEL: 4AD
CONDITION: Sleeve is VG All good and in shrink but has some water damage on just right side. Vinyl is VG++ plays great!
DETAILS: The second album by the 4AD collective headed by label founder  distills the  concept somewhat. There's more of a core group now, featuring  of , producer , arranger , and  himself, backing a variety of mostly female singers. The double album is nearly half instrumentals (all of them given the traditional 4AD treatment of layers of echo, reverb, and phasing), most of which are pleasant enough but not particularly memorable. The vocal tracks, however, continue the debut's trend of intriguing versions of fascinatingly obscure covers, ranging from 's mysteriously beautiful "The Jeweller" (with -like vocals by ) and 's "I Must Have Been Blind" (sung by , apparently from the bottom of a very deep well) to ' "Drugs" (with a fiery, soulful vocal by  over a harsh, thumping rhythm track) and 's "Alone," each of them reinterpreted in the unique  style. Less focused than ,  is an uneven but often inspired follow-up.
