Janice Long Session 15.07.86

Even before the release of the debut single from off-kilter Scottish indie-pop legends Close Lobsters, the late, lamented Janice Long got them in for their first outing at the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios. They recorded a session featuring four staples from their blistering live set at the time – which was peak-hour C86.

Two of the songs included here in early versions ended up re-recorded as A-sides of singles, paving the way to a close shave with stardom via their incredible debut album ‘Foxheads Stalk This Land’, released a year later.

Ten-inch vinyl limited edition of 350 copies featuring a set of postcards plus download codes – and a sleeve essay by The Ferocious Apache, Paisley’s answer to the Cappuccino Kid.
