Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

This all-girl band of post-punk pioneers briefly enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the early 1990s, thanks to Kurt Cobain's championing of them on the sleeve-notes of Nevermind, and a subsequent tour with Nirvana. This 1979 album, reissued in 1993, is a timely reminder of their unique sound and influence. A triumph of lo-fi amateurism over musicianship, the Raincoats took as their blueprint sound a harsh blend of clashing guitar, shrill violin and ramshackle drumming; but could still fashion songs of the most heart-breaking beauty out of such crude materials. Like Gang of Four and other proto-political punk bands of the late 1970s, the Raincoats would frequently employ a fierce political agenda, with songs such as "The Professionals", which angrily tells of soldiers raping girls. Elsewhere, "Fairytale In A Supermarket" is extraordinarily emotional; while a cover of The Kink's "Lola" sung by two girls flirts with sexual ambiguity. Their cult status is assured. --Amber Cowan

5.0 out of 5 stars やっぱり、SLITSと一緒に語りたい1枚。, 2006/2/19
By MR. BIZARRO (千葉県船橋市) - See all my reviews
お姉さん好き・kinks好きのわたしとしては、これはやはり外せない1枚なのです。レインコーツというと、すぐ下手だ、という人がいるけど当然のことながら音楽の優劣は技術で決まるものでもない。kinksの「LOLA」をきちんとハモって歌っているところなんか何回聞いても感動してしまいます。レインコーツはやはりSLITSと一緒にして語りたいと思います。向こうがデニス・ボヴェールプロデュースならこっちはメイヨ・トンプソン、ドラマーはSLITSはバッジー、ブルース・スミスだけどレインコーツだって次のアルバムではあまり目立たないけどチャールズ・ヘイワードとロバート・ワイアットが叩いているのです。再結成盤ではスティーヴ・シェリーが叩いていましたね。DGCのリイシュー盤ではカート・コベインがライナーを寄せていました。あと、ここに入っている「IN LOVE」は芹沢のえさんが編集したラフ・トレードのポスト・パンクの名オムニバス盤、「クリアー・カット」にも収録されていました。あれもいつか、CD化してほしいと思います。

ANAの書いたジャケットも素敵だと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars Lola, 2009/7/29
By E+Op. (目黒区) - See all my reviews
好きです。これが楽しめるのは 私に音楽的素養がないからだと思います。
Ella Fitzgerald, Edit Piaf, Amalia Rodriguesも好きですが...
この時期 NirvanaのKurt Cobain氏のお気に入りとして再評価されたようです。
KinksのLolaが 堪らなくいとおしいです。
