The debut album, It'll End In Tears (1984) forged the template for This Mortal Coil, whilst also helping to crystallize 4AD's emerging signature sound and shining a light on some of their stable with Cocteau Twins, Colourbox and Dead Can Dance all involved (the line-up was completed by Howard Devoto of Buzzcocks / Magazine fame and Cindytalks Gordon Sharp). An important record of its time, Pitchfork recently named it one of the best Dream Pop albums ever, a moment they commented which "catalyzed 4AD's ascendance from the stilted poetics of goth rock to the kings of gauzy transcendence."
Using remasters made from the original analogue studio tapes by the late, great John Dent at Loud Mastering, this reissue comes housed in a beautiful, hand finished and high-gloss gatefold sleeve with reimagined artwork by Ivo Watts-Russell and Vaughan Oliver, 4AD's long-time visual partner.
