Artist: Lemonheads, The
Title: It's A Shame About Ray - 30th Anniversary Edition (GREEN VINYL)
Genre: Indie & Alternative
Label: Fire Records
Lemonheads’ seminal album is back on vinyl, featuring Evan Dando classics such as ‘My Drug Buddy’, ‘Rudderless’ and ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’, lovingly reissued by Fire Records. Described by music journalist and author Everett True as “A 30-minute insight into what it’s like to live hard and fast and loose and happy with like-minded buddies, fuelled by a shared love for similar bands and drugs and booze and freedom.”. ‘It's A Shame About Ray’ had a considerable impact back in those heady, carefree days of '92, the record perfectly captures Dando’s ability to effortlessly encapsulate teenage longing and lust over the course of a two-minute pop song.
The reissue includes a download card with a slew of extra material, including the ‘My Drug Buddy’ KCRW session track from 1992 featuring Juliana Hatfield, B-sides from singles ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’ and ‘Confetti’, a track from the ‘Mrs. Robinson/Being Round’ EP.
