Description
PURCHASED BRAND NEW and kept in the plastic bag it came in, this is an Australian Import. This is a "lighter construction" cardboard sleeve with no hard edges or spline. Only visible wear is on the album access edge because it is delicate material (see pictures).
The album inner sleeve is a rounded bottom vinyl sleeve with a corner crease on the top, also showing some minor wrinkling. There is a seperate lyric sheet included, in excellent shape (see picture).
The album vinyl is in great shape showing only visible minor surface scuffing in a few spots. Label has no spindle marks and looks brand new. I ONLY PLAYED ONCE IF AT ALL. No notation on if 33 RPM or 45 RPM? Assuming it is 33 RPM?
Side One: Maybe These Boys (5:40) - 10,000 Miles (4:15) Side Tw0: Into My Hands (3:40 - A Month of Sundays (4:19) - Remote Luxury (No time given?)
The Church are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. Initially associated with new wave, neo-psychedelia, and indie rock, their music later came to feature slower tempos and surreal soundscapes reminiscent of alternative rock, dream pop, and post-rock. Glenn A. Baker has written that "From the release of the 'She Never Said' single in November 1980, this unique Sydney-originated entity has purveyed a distinctive, ethereal, psychedelic-tinged sound which has alternatively found favour and disfavour in Australia." The Los Angeles Times has described the band's music as "dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop".
The founding members were Steve Kilbey on lead vocals and bass guitar, Peter Koppes and Marty Wilson-Piper on guitars, and Nick Ward on drums. Ward played only on their debut album, and the band's drummer for the rest of the 1980s was Richard Ploog.
Forgoing a full album, the band released two EPs in 1984, Remote Luxury in March and Persia in August, but only in Australia and New Zealand. Both EPs reached the Top 50 on the Australian Albums Chart. Again, almost all tracks were written by Kilbey, but compared to Seance, the atmosphere was lighter and less gloomy. The band's trademark guitar sound was complemented by the keyboards of guest musicians Davey Ray Moor (from the Crystal Set, which included Kilbey's brother Russell)Part of my personal collection.
