THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS

Brighter Now

Original UK LP released on In Phaze / New European Records in 1982.

The first official Legendary Pink Dots album was actually a re-release of an early cassette, but it's as convenient a starting point as any for the lengthy, ever-evolving collection of releases the band would embark upon. The sound is certainly among the roughest and sparest of any LPD release, and in many ways is a tentative effort that is more a product of its time than anything else. Songs like the jaunty synth-box swing of "Louder After Six" and the almost flamenco-tinged "Legacy" bespeak little of the tension and threat of imminent collapse that so much of the band's work in later years would demonstrate in spades. The Silver Man is very much present as the lead keyboardist, and one gets the sense he's playing around as well, seeing what works and what doesn't, groping toward a more individual sound bit by bit. Ka-Spel's immediately identifiable vocals show his Syd Barrett fascination had understandable roots, but even then he had a consciously strange, alien lilt to his delivery that renders his results much more than revivalism. His lyrics, meanwhile, convey a lot of the sheer dread and worry that much of the music doesn't, or at least not on first blush. Whether it's the utterly freaked out demolition of the hippie dream on "Apocalypse Then," even as the synths are gently soothing at many points, or the vocodered chill of "Hanging Gardens," he's clearly finding his voice already and putting it to very good use. At its best, Brighter Now finds its own creepy air -- thus the vocal/piano only combination of "The Wedding," as anti-celebratory a benediction as could be thought possible for said blessed event, or "City Ghosts," which predicts the future of the band in many ways while still sounding stripped down and even jazzy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
