FOR SALE THE COMPLETE BOX SET RECORDINGS OF SUGAR ON AUDIOPHILE VINYL - SEALED & UNPLAYED
A deluxe vinyl boxset containing the complete recordings made between 1992 and 1995 by Sugar, the short Copper Blue is the debut album by Sugar, the short-lived but brilliant trio of Bob Mould (guitar, vocals), David Barbe (bass) and Malcolm Travis (drums). Upon the band s formation at the start of 1992, Bob Mould already enjoyed legendary status thanks to his legacy as a key member of Hüsker Dü, the Minneapolis band that within six years and seven albums transcended their roots in the US hardcore punk scene and drafted a new blueprint for rock music that would influence a generation of younger musicians most notably the Pixies and Nirvana. Following Hüsker Dü s acrimonious break-up in January 1988, Mould recorded two solo albums for Virgin. By the beginning of 1992 he had assembled a new band, signed to the rising Creation Records and released 3 UK top 10 albums, including the classic debut Copper Blue (NME s 1992 album of the year).
