Cocteau Twins: The Pink Opaque (180g) Vinyl LP

This is an expertly curated compilation featuring the Cocteau Twins' early work. After achieving great success in the UK and Europe, this compilation introduced the band to the US. 'The Pink Opaque' selects some of the band's finest material for a co - release by their home label, 4AD, and the American label, Relativity. None of the tracks were available in the US until this compilation's release. The compiler clearly knew what they were doing, including the entire excellent 'Pearly - Dewdrops' Drops' EP. The cover of the Garlands' 'Wax and Wane' is slightly remixed and might be better than the original. The rare 'Millimillenary' from a New Musical Express compilation tape showcases the band's lush sound and Elizabeth Fraser's unique vocals. Other tracks are 'The Spangle Maker', 'Hitherto', 'From the Flagstones', 'Lorelei', and the then - recent single 'Aikea - Guinea'. It's a perfect introduction for those curious about the Cocteau Twins. It comes as a 180g black vinyl pressing from music label 4AD in 2015.

Using this Cocteau Twins vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle onto the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Also, keep it in its protective sleeve when not in use to prevent scratches. If you notice any dust on the record, use a proper record cleaning brush to gently remove it before playing. That way, you can keep this great compilation in top - notch condition and enjoy it for a long time.
