The Raincoats - a thread

Anyone a fan?

I saw they just reissued "Odyshape" yet again for its 40 year anniversary. Per discogs, looks like the first two albums have been through quite a few pressings!

Pretty big fan here; I only have the 3rd one on vinyl; might have to pick up that pressing of Odyshape. I had the chance to get early pressings of those 1st 2 and didn't because I thought they were too high-priced at the time, but it was likely half of what they go for now if not less. The 1st one is my favorite and I assume most folks'. Stunning and shambolic; The Shaggs 10 years later kinda. I'd love to reacquire The Kitchen Tapes, too; that one is a grower, but good to annoy folks with.

Moz disses them in his book, which makes me like them more.

There are a few signed copies of the (I believe) 2019 pressing on band camp as well.

This must be the version I saw at PREX back in December. I think it was somewhere between $25 and $30, but anyway if you check Discogs, there is also a 2019 pressing on blue that is much, much cheaper and some stores are selling on there, too. I don't know why the clear seems to be harder to find.

I like them and have mainly listened to their albums on CD over the years. Odyshape is probably my favorite of theirs.

I added the '93 DGC ones to my want list as well as some of the various vinyl reissues of those 1st 2 albums.
