Description
In 1982, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, composed of Cole, Blair Cowan, Lawrence Donegan, Neil Clark, and Stephen Irvine, 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 synthesizer trend, offering intense, melodic, guitar - driven pop with witty, literary - filled lyrics. Their debut album 'Rattlesnakes' was extremely popular. Although it was tough for the follow - up to match its warm reception, 'Easy Pieces' did a great job. It sold twice as many copies in its first two weeks as 'Rattlesnakes' had to that point, hitting the Top 5 in the charts upon its November 1985 release. Recorded with 80s super - producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, its first two singles, the moody 'Brand New Friend' and the lively 'Lost Weekend', reached the UK Top 20. This re - issue accurately replicates the 1985 Polydor Records UK release with a printed inner sleeve 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. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, align it properly, and then lower the needle onto the record. Enjoy the music at a suitable volume. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve carefully to prevent scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to keep its shape. Don't stack too many records on top of each other to avoid warping.
