Description

The long gone and hard to find third record from the Bats.  The very first release on Flying Nun UK.

From Trouser Press:  "The Bats' taut jangle has become nearly synonymous with both New Zealand's pop underground and Flying Nun's rich roster. The quartet of singer/guitarists Robert Scott and Kaye Woodward, bassist Paul Kean and drummer Malcolm Grant has been writing and recording delicious pop gems since 1983, but didn't get around to recording a proper full-length album until 1988's Daddy's Highway.

When Kean and Scott — the former bass players for New Zealand legends Toy Love and the Clean, respectively — decided to form a band together, Scott (also perpetrator of the Every Secret Thing fanzine and cassette label) switched to guitar and led the group into the studio to record six of his melodic melancholic odes. By Night is paradoxically morose and exhilarating; each song a moody pop gem, with hints of the hard-strummed countryisms of Gram Parsons. The seven-son 12-inch And Here Is 'Music for the Fireside'! is even better, spanning a wider stylistic spectrum, from lackadaisical laments to sweeping, enticing rushes of pure pop satisfaction, each made all the more appealing by Scott's nasal, high register vocals.

Recorded in a 24-track London studio during a 1986 European trip, Blue (Flying Nun's first UK release) lacks some of the alluring immediacy of its predecessors."

VG+/EX condition, cover/vinyl.  Cover shows some ringwear and sticker residue.

Please note I am also selling 5 other Clean (or Clean-related) records in separate auctions. 

$4 Media Mail, $7.00 Priority in US.  Combined shipping available, just ask.
