Numbered Limited Edition LP from Mobile Fidelity Silver LabelRanked #471 on Rolling Stone's List of The 500 Greatest Albums of All TimeEnglish Band's 1981 Sophomore Record A Superbly Articulate Expression of Post-Punk Gloom, Despair, and Melancholy That's Shot Through With HopeMastered on Mobile Fidelity's World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI: LP Illuminates Myriad Textures, AtmosphericsHow strong and looming of an influence is Echo and the Bunnymen?
