Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Mainstream, 1987 on Capitol

Third and last studio LP under the name Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, released by Polydor in the UK and Capitol in the US. Fared better in the UK than in the US, where it failed to chart.

One track produced by Stewart Copeland, the rest by Ian Stanley. Well worth a listen if you liked Rattlesnakes or other Lloyd Cole.

My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is an Allied pressing with Specialty metalwork on purple Capitol labels (and the original custom inner liner).

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions / Rattlesnakes (1984); Das Album kombiniert eingängige Melodien mit tiefgründigen, oft melancholischen Texten, die von Cole's charakteristischem Gesang getragen werden. Die Songs sind geprägt von einer Mischung aus Folk, Rock und New Wave, wobei der Titeltrack „Rattlesnakes“ und „Perfect Skin“ besonders hervorstechen. #LloydCole #LloydColeAndTheCommotions #NewWave #PopRock #IndiePop #IndieRock #BritPop

Tonight, my dear Fediverse friends, I switch to English in order to create a thread containing quotes from lyrics by the one and only #LloydCole

Why, you might ask? Because he is simply wonderful, thats why.

My introduction to LLoyd Cole was hearing "Lost Weekend" on a mix cd given to me years ago. Then I was hooked. This feature on Cole includes "The Idiot" from 2023.
