Description:

The Go-Betweens – Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express (1986 Australian 12” Vinyl LP Album housed in picture sleeve showing light crease bottom RH corner and tiny nick top spine centre with vinyl near mint – Label A Side shows a faint smudge - Truetone Records – 826 714-1)

Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express, the fourth album by The Go-Betweens, was released in 1986 in Australia on Truetone Records. Their fourth album Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express sees the group at the height of their musical abilities. Trading stripped down guitar pop for a more polished sound, the album features string arrangements and strong performances by versatile multi-instrumentalist Dean B. Speedwell, giving Forster and McLennan’s wistful love songs atmosphere to thrive. This change in direction, however, did little to impede the group’s penchant for writing catchy pop tunes with Forster and McLennan’s signature complementary styles, equal parts accessible and mysterious, sunny and moody. A definite highlight in a string of excellent and underrated albums from the Go-Betweens.
