Title: Riotous fun and still available if you know where to look...
Product review: Any one seeking 'perfectly crafted pop perfection' can look away now because this album provides music that is energetically wild, and chaotic, bordering on the ramshackle. But that's the point: It's supposed to be like that!The album is, perhaps, best known for the cover of 'Lola', but it's just one of the highlights. The use of scratchy violin lends a manic punk-folk edge to some of the tunes and there is an odd mix of musical styles here. It isn't perfect, but music like this isn't about perfection.If I had to compare it to anyone, I would say maybe, The Slits or Gang of Four.At the time of writing, this album was unavailable through Amazon but I discovered that it(and all the other Raincoats Albums)can be obtained(new!)from the Rough Trade shop(by phone or online)and for sensible money. So go on, treat yourself.
