Description
“Born Sandy Devotional” is an album by The Triffids, released in March 1986. The songs were written by David McComb. The album was recorded at Mark Angelo Studios in London in August 1985 with Gil Norton co-producing with the band, and mixed at Amazon Studios in Liverpool in September 1985. The cover photo shows Mandurah, Western Australia – now a large urban center – as it appeared in 1961.
This album has been widely praised by critics. Mat Snow from NME described it as "a masterpiece…and boldly reoccupies the territory rock has abandoned in its retreat into self-obsession, and so throws down the challenge to the rest of the field. Have you the imagination to accept?". John Wilde of Sounds wrote that "The Triffids, on this hurricane form, make it look like a swarm of legless lizards. They’ve evidently taken their time, but unleash their true masterpiece when their nearest rivals clog their own arteries with pomp and frigid pretentiousness.". Adam Sweeting of Melody Maker said that "At last somebody’s released Born Sandy Devotional, which was finished nearly a year ago but has been bouncing around between dithering record companies ever since."
The album cover shows a little wear, but the inner sleeve is in excellent condition. Please see the photographs that also include two separate stand alone sheets with the lyrics for the songs on each side of the album.
