Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Rattlesnakes (Reissue) Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1984 Polydor Records UK release with printed inner sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180g red vinyl using the artist-approved 2020 remaster.

Produced by Paul Hardiman with strings arranged by Anne Dudley, Rattlesnakes became one of the most cherished albums of the 80s. Including further singles Forest Fire and the title track, the group found themselves as the darlings of the music press, at a time when a university education was still a relative rarity. Cole wasted little time in cramming cultural allusions in his material – listeners were introduced to a world of Norman Mailer, Eva Marie Saint and Truman Capote, all wrapped in delightfully written pop music.
