Description

A cornerstone of feminist post-punk, The Raincoats debut is raw, playful, and defiantly unpolished. Recorded in 1979 by Ana da Silva, Gina Birch, Palmolive, and Vicky Aspinall, the album blends jagged rhythms, off-kilter harmonies, and lyrical intimacy with a spirit of joyful rebellion. Produced by Geoff Travis and Mayo Thompson, it’s a sonic document of London’s DIY underground.

This 2022 reissue is pressed on solid silver 180g vinyl, remastered from the original tapes and limited to 1,000 copies. Includes printed insert with lyrics, photos, and a download code. Released to coincide with UK National Album Day, it features a hype sticker referencing its inclusion in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
