{"product_id":"in-ribbons-expanded-30th-anniversary-reissue","title":"In Ribbons (Expanded 30th Anniversary Reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1990 debut album from Pale Saints, \u003ci\u003eThe Comforts of Madness\u003c\/i\u003e, is an outstanding record that owed as much to post-punk and L.A.’s Paisley Underground scene than it did to shoegaze. The Sunday Times called it “an unintended indie manifesto: music that is at once wayward and concise, dissonant and beautiful.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShortly after its release and in need of a second live guitarist, Lush founding member Meriel Barham joined the Leeds trio of Ian Masters, Graeme Naysmith and Chris Cooper, bringing a new dynamic to the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving previously worked well with producer Hugh Jones (Echo and The Bunnyman, Modern English, The Sound), he did a brilliant job recording their second album, \u003ci\u003eIn Ribbons\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), despite some studio tensions. Brooklyn Vegan said in a recent celebration of the album that it was the “push and pull between Masters’ outsider tendencies and (the rest’s) commercial intereststhat makes \u003ci\u003eIn Ribbons\u003c\/i\u003e so good. If some of the wild, ragged edges of \u003ci\u003eComforts of Madness\u003c\/i\u003e have been smoothed off, the album makes up for it with scope and beauty. And there’sstill no shortage of weird.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMissing its original release date last year due to Covid delays and a production plant in meltdown, \u003ci\u003eIn Ribbons\u003c\/i\u003e finally gets the 30th Anniversary celebration it deserves with a special double LP \/ CD release – the first disc being the UK version of the album, the second a bonus disc of never before heard demos (including their first attempt at Slapp Happy’s ‘Blue Flower’ and Ian’s 4 track recording of ‘Kinky Love’) and two brass band versions by The Tintwistle Band. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, the limited double LP edition is being pressed on unpigmented vinyl by The Vinyl Factory in West London. A single disc, black vinyl version is also released.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"Clear LPx2","offer_id":50394030473547,"sku":"2053015","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50394030178635,"sku":"2053013","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CDx2","offer_id":50394029130059,"sku":"2053012","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4AD0407-PALESAINTS-INRIBBONS-PACKSHOT_10fb6e76_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726431344","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/in-ribbons-expanded-30th-anniversary-reissue","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
