Description

Short Sharp Shocked is the acclaimed 1988 studio debut from singer songwriter Michelle Shocked. Produced by Pete Anderson, the album is a seminal work of the late eighties folk revival, blending elements of punk, rock, and traditional bluegrass. The record is highly regarded for its sharp lyrical storytelling and contains the hit single Anchorage, alongside notable tracks such as When I Grow Up and If Love Was A Train. The iconic cover art depicts Shocked being detained during a protest, reflecting the political and social themes found within the music. This specific copy is a promotional pressing, making it a desirable find for collectors of alternative folk and eighties rock. The record is in EX condition, showing very few signs of use and maintaining its original luster. The sleeve is well preserved and includes the original green hype sticker as seen in the provided image.
