Pickup available at Record Corner
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Ltd edition WHITE vinyl, DL card of extras and demos also included. Lemonheads’ seminal album ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’, lovingly
reissued by Fire Records for its 30th Anniversary in 2022. The long overdue reissue includes a slew of extra material, including an
unreleased ‘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, alongside demos that will be released for the first time on vinyl. This
reissue celebrates their prestigious fifth album, these deluxe bookback editions feature new liner notes and unseen photos. 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. Singles such as 'My Drug Buddy' and the breezy perfect pop of the
title track might stand out (plus the add-on of 'Mrs. Robinson' which later copies included), but the album's real strength lies in the
tracks in-between; the truly fantastic 'Confetti' (written about Evan's parents' divorce), and the eye-wateringly casual acoustic cover of
'Frank Mills' (from the "hippie" musical Hair), a version that seems to resonate with every ounce of pathos and emotion felt for the lost
1960s generation. To hear Evan Dando sing lines like 'I love him/but it embarrasses me/To walk down the street with him/He lives in
Brooklyn somewhere/And he wears his white crash helmet' is to truly appreciate how wonderful and tantalising pop music can be.
Then, there's the rush of insurgency and brattishness on the wonderfully truncated 'Bit Part'; the topsy-turvy 'Ceiling Fan In My
Spoon'... this was male teenage skinny-tie pop music on a level of brilliance with The Kinks, early Undertones, Wipers.
