Smithereens - Especially For You

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ENIGMA 1986.

Enigma 3208 made in Holland.

Vinyl VG++. Cover VG++.

The Smithereens' superb full-length debut Especially for You marries an unapologetically nostalgic affection for the melodic crunch of the British Invasion era with an equally unapologetic helping of postmodern melancholia. In tandem with Don Dixon's moodily atmospheric production, Pat DiNizio's lovelorn lyrics and world-weary vocals reveal the dark underbelly of his otherwise crisply infectious songs, lending standout tracks like "Strangers When We Meet," "Behind the Wall of Sleep," and the minor hit "Blood and Roses," both a unique flavor and an immediate familiarity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smithereens
