THE ASSOCIATES - Fourth Drawer Down - LP - 180g Silver Vinyl [AUG 16]

LP - Limited Edition 180g Silver Vinyl (originally announced as Translucent Blue Vinyl. See below for update from supplier). Only 750 individually numbered copies pressed in this edition. 

Fourth Drawer Down is a compilation album by the Scottish post-punk and new wave band the Associates, released in October 1981. It compiles the A- and B-sides from the six singles the band released that year. The songs that appeared on Fourth Drawer Down had a notably darker and more experimental edge than their debut studio album The Affectionate Punch. The album was well received by music critics, with reviewers commenting on the band's increased experimentalism. Alastair McKay of Uncut called Fourth Drawer Down ""an extraordinary document on which the sense of mystery deepens, and the commitment to sonic experiment becomes more pronounced."" Fourth Drawer Down is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on translucent blue coloured vinyl and is housed in a gatefold sleeve.

* Update info from supplier: "We would like to inform you that this release was announced on translucent blue coloured vinyl, but the total run in fact was pressed on silver coloured vinyl. Some finished copies will have the sticker stating transparent blue vinyl, but this will include silver coloured vinyl.

Remaining (unsold) stock at distributors will have a new sticker stating silver coloured vinyl. A release date change and correction (colour change) email is sent out to retail as well. We’ll also adjust the images to silver coloured vinyl and distribute these images as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but now you know the only vinyl colour we pressed is silver!"
