The Winding Sheet is an album by American musician Mark Lanegan that was
released in 1990. It was Lanegan's first solo work, and is notable in its
departure from the characteristic sound of Screaming Trees, the band he
fronted from 1985 until 2000. While the work done in that group was much
more energetic and fit into the burgeoning grunge genre of the late 80s/
early 90s, The Winding Sheet has a much more stripped down sound, defining
Lanegan's solo work largely for the rest of the decade. The album was a
modest success. The term "winding sheet" is a synonym of shroud. "The
Winding Sheet" is also the title of a traditional sea chanty that was
the basis of the well known "Streets of Larado".

The album showcases Lanegan's adept skills as a lyricist and his deep,
soulful voice. Highlights include "Mockingbirds," "Ugly Sunday" ("I'm
drunk, half blind and it's an ugly Sunday morning") and the haunting
"Wild Flowers." On "Down in the Dark" good friend Kurt Cobain sings
while on the Leadbelly classic Cobain contributes guitar and vocals and
Krist Novoselic plays bass. Nirvana would later cover "Where Did you
Sleep Last Night" on their Unplugged album.

The album is produced by Mike Johnson, who also co-wrote many of the songs.

Foo Fighters' frontman and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has called
The Winding Sheet "one of the best albums of all time" and has said
that it was a huge influence on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged concert.

Q: Will I combine shipping costs for multiple items? A: You bet. All records are original issue unless noted.

Hi, my name is Derek Erdman and I'm soon going to be moving across the country and will be selling
off most of my collection before I do it. If you like this record, see my other auctions for more like it:
rock, indie, punk, jazz, soul, house, blues, classical, you name it. There are so many of them and they
are all good. I worked in the record business for 15 years & have collected since I was a child & now
they absolutely all have to go.

Please look below for shipping costs & check my feedback - I'm good at eBay!

NEAR MINT (NM) Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that
do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming
evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully.
Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of
a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not
affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD (VG) Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl
luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but
should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of
these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD (G) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record
should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent,
but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR (P) Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be
seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
