Description
The Pale Fountains, formed in Liverpool in 1980 by Mick (later known as Michael) Head, along with Chris McCaffery on bass, Thomas Whelan on drums, trumpeter Andy Diagram, and guitarist Ken Moss, made their mark on the music world. After signing with Virgin in late 1982, the music industry first noticed singer - songwriter Michael Head's work.
'From Across The Kitchen Table' was produced by Ian Broudie, who later redefined sugar - pop with The Lightning Seeds. Recorded over a shorter time, this album is more cohesive than its predecessor. The lead single, 'Jean's Not Happening', is an 80s indie classic with a powerful string arrangement. The closing track, 'September Sting', is a lively scouse - a - billy piece that influenced later groups like The Las.
Nearly four decades later, Michael Head is loved by his hardcore fans, and new releases from him, whether by Shack or the Red Elastic Band, gain wide acclaim. The Pale Fountains was where it all started.
This re - issue precisely replicates the 1985 UK Virgin Records release with a printed inner and is pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl.
To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the LP gently on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. Sit back and enjoy the music.
When handling the LP, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture as these can damage the vinyl.
After each use, return the LP to its sleeve. Regularly clean the LP with a soft, anti - static brush to remove dust and debris. This will help maintain the sound quality and ensure your vinyl lasts a long time.
