Car Button Cloth (Expanded ‘Clothbound’ Edition) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE, DELUXE EDITION, YELLOW VINYL)

Description

Deluxe 2xLP clothbound sleeve edition of Car Button Cloth, featuring Lemonheads classics If I Could Talk Id Tell You and The Outdoor Type. This reissue includes the original record alongside a whole extra LP of rarities and unreleased cuts, continuing Fire Records in-depth series of reissues from the legendary band.

Car Button Cloth’ is an extraordinary affair of musical and emotional extremes, a soundscape spanning the most beautiful piano-led mourning in the history of the broken heart that switches into perky jangle-pop for fleeting moments and contains the ultimate self-deprecating classic The Outdoor Type, penned by Smudge cohort Tom Morgan, as well as a cover of the bluegrass standard Knoxville Girl and If I Could Talk Id Tell You co-written with The Vaselines Eugene Kelly. All bases are covered.

To further unravel where Evans head was at during the period of its creation, this deluxe double album comes with a record of exquisite and typically eclectic scene setting covers that occupied B-sides and alternative format versions, plus other super rare offcuts, live takes and remixes. A diet of Volcano Suns, Glen Campbell, The Jacobites, The Sir Douglas Quintet and Whitney Houston influenced Evans thinking and added further colour to an album that remains something of a Dorian Gray-style masterpiece. The first side of extras is rounded off with the never before released Arise, originally set for the remake of Great Expectations and later realised as Rancho Santa Fe on solo album Baby Im Bored.
