Description
In 1982, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, including Cole, Blair Cowan, Lawrence Donegan, Neil Clark, and Stephen Irvine, were formed in Glasgow. Buxton - born singer - songwriter Cole was studying Philosophy and English at the University of Glasgow then. Their music went against the 80s shiny synth trend, offering intense, melodic, guitar - based pop with witty, literature - filled lyrics. After the huge success of their debut album Rattlesnakes, it was tough for the follow - up. But Easy Pieces did a great job. It sold twice as many copies in its first two weeks as Rattlesnakes had until then, hitting the Top 5 in November 1985. Produced by 80s super - producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, its first two singles, the brooding Brand New Friend and the lively Lost Weekend, reached the UK Top 20. This re - issue exactly copies the 1985 UK Polydor Records release, with a printed inner sleeve and is pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, just place it on a suitable record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and you'll be able to listen to the great music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on it. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. If the record gets dusty, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. And when not in use, keep it in its protective sleeve to maintain its quality.
