Vinyl in excellent condition, see photo of cutout mark on jacket
Throwing Muses is the 1986 debut album of the band , released on British independent label . This was the first album by an American band to be released on 4AD, which had concentrated primarily on British-based acts up to this point. The release marked a shift in the label's direction; a year later 4AD would sign based in part on the band's connection to Throwing Muses, and by the mid-1990s much of the label's roster was made up of American bands.[] The album was originally released in the UK by 4AD in August 1986 (CAD607) on LP, CD and cassette. Sometime around the early 1990s, the album went out of print, as plans were made by the band's American label, to issue the album for the first time in the USA, along with 1987's Chains Changed EP, which had also never seen American release. After Throwing Muses were dropped by Sire following the disappointing sales for 1995's critical favorite University, plans for the re-issue were dropped.
