Pillows & Prayers (Cherry Red 1982-1983)
Cherry Red (UK) 1982
Z RED 41 (LP) Original pressing.
sleeve : EX+(two very slightly surface scratches.)
media : EX/EX(some slightly noise.)
A classic compilation album released in 1982 by the iconic London-based indie label Cherry Red, founded in the early ’70s by Iain McNay and Richard Jones. This superb collection brings together tracks from 17 of the label’s artists, including Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt, The Monochrome Set, Thomas Leer, Tracy Thorn, Eyeless in Gaza, and more — all recorded between 1982 and 1983. A stellar snapshot of the golden age of British indie — spanning neo-acoustic, new wave, and post-punk sounds — the very music that had me hooked as a teenager. Short but beautiful cuts throughout, including one by Piero Milesi. Original UK pressing.
A5: Ben Watt “Some Things Don’t Matter”
A7: Piero Milesi “Modi 2 (Extract)”
B5: Everything But The Girl “On My Mind”
