{"product_id":"no-sense-of-sin","title":"No Sense Of Sin","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow on vinyl a reissue of the original version of the \u003cem\u003eLotus Eaters'\u003c\/em\u003e debut album, originally released in 1984. The \u003cstrong\u003eLotus Eaters\u003c\/strong\u003e were formed in the early 80's by Jem Kelly, formerly of the \u003cem\u003eWild Swans\u003c\/em\u003e, and Peter Coyle. The band enjoyed a couple of hits \"\u003cem\u003eThe First Picture of You\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eYou Don't Need Someone New\u003c\/em\u003e\" in 1983, releasing one album \"\u003cem\u003eNo Sense of Sin\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on 180g vinyl in a newly designed gatefold sleeve with the original hand-scripted inner bag, the initial pressings include a bonus white vinyl 7-inch with the band's singles \"\u003cem\u003eIt Hurt\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eYou Don't Need Someone New\u003c\/em\u003e\", both of which did not feature on the original pressings of \"\u003cem\u003eNo Sense In Sin\u003c\/em\u003e\". The whole project has been under the careful tutelage of Jem Kelly, whose attic was raided to find the original 1\/4 inch master tapes for the remastering. Louis Vincent has also kindly supplied brand new sleeve notes for this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on the band's own Arista subsidiary label Sylvan Records in 1984, the album was preceded by the single \"\u003cem\u003eFirst Picture Of You\u003c\/em\u003e\". The most played track on BBC Radio 1 in that long hot summer of 1983, the band who had never played a live gig, had previously done a session for the late Radio DJ John Peel, songs being hastily written in the spirit of the moment for that now legendary session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting album captured the band's sound perfectly, encompassing Jem's desire to expand on his previous work with \u003cem\u003eThe Wild Swans\u003c\/em\u003e extending the melodic driven dynamic and Peter's lyrics are an honest attempt to capture the intricacies of human relations. People forget these were two young musicians in the early twenties writing and this innocence gives the album its freshness that some saw as a weakness. The polished production being too much for some the band were misunderstood in some quarters and struggled in the UK to build on the success of \u003cem\u003eFirst Picture\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weatherbox","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50435920200011,"sku":"1013215","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50435920625995,"sku":"325597","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e8366d26-e921-4acc-811b-5adb24113e13_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726909497","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/no-sense-of-sin","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
