Cocteau Twins ORIG UK LP Head over heels VG+ ’83 4AD CAD313 Dream Pop Indi
Original UK LP released in 1983 on 4AD Records. Cat: CAD 313. Comes with printed inner bag which is in Excellent condition.
Losing original member Heggie might at first have seemed a troubling blow, but in fact it allowed the duo of Fraser and Guthrie to transcend the darkened one-note gloom of Garlands with Head Over Heels. The album introduces a variety of different shadings and approaches to the incipient Cocteaus sound, pointing the band towards the exultant, elegant beauty of later releases. Opening number "When Mama Was Moth" demonstrates the new musical range nicely; Fraser's singing is much more upfront, while Guthrie creates a bewitching mix of dark guitar notes and sparkling keyboard tones, with percussion echoing in the background. Other songs, like the sax-accompanied "Five Ten Fiftyfold" and "The Tinderbox (Of a Heart)" reflect the more elaborate musical melancholy of the group, while still other cuts are downright sprightly
Tracks : When mama was moth/ Five ten fiftyfold/ Sugar hiccup/ In our angelhood/ Glass candle grenades/ In the gold dust rush/ The tinderbox (of a heart)/ Multifoiled/ My love paramour/ Musette and drums.
