LP

The Raincoats

Debut Album

LIMITED EDITION

40th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

+ PRINTS !

1000 Copies Made!

MARBLED 180 GRAM VINYL

+ DOWNLOADS

A remastered, self released Marbled vinyl version

with download code of seminal post-punk combo

the Raincoats' debut album originally released in

1979 on Rough Trade. This reissue comes with a

single bonus track: Fairytale in the Supermarket, the

band's debut single. the extra song opens the new

edition of the album rather than be appended at the

end as a bonus track. Formed in the late '70s by

singer-guitarist Ana Da Silva and singer-bassist

Gina Birch, the Raincoats recorded three albums

with an evolving cast of players before splitting in

1984. Like the Vaselines, interest in the band from

Nirvana's Kurt Cobain helped lead to a mid-'90s

renaissance; Rough Trade reissued the band's three

albums in 1994 with liner notes by Cobain, and the

reformed Raincoats released a fourth

album, Looking in the Shadows, in 1996, and have

performed live sporadically since. a triumph of lo-fi

amateurism over musicianship, the Raincoats took

as their blueprint sound a harsh blend of clashing

guitar, shrill violin and ramshackle drumming; but

could still fashion songs of the most heart-breaking

beauty out of such crude materials. Fairytale in a

Supermarket is extraordinarily emotional; while a

cover of the Kink's Lola sung by three girls flirts

with sexual ambiguity.
