Everything But The Girl, Idlewild, 1988 on Sire

This was the fourth EBTG album, released in early 1988 on Sire / Blanco y Negro Records. There’s a 2012 double CD reissue with bonuses but that has not been issued on vinyl. (The LP was reissued by Music on Vinyl in 2016 but as a single LP).

I love Tracey Thorn and Ben Watts, who married in 2009 after 27 years of engagement. Cover photo by Richard Haughton – I like to think of it as a prom photo with Ben holding a corsage, but I that’s just me.

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a US Allied Pressing.
