Slowdive: Just For A Day Vinyl LP
$26.95
<p><i>Debut studio album from Reading's Slowdive.</i> <i>Just For A Day</i> was originally recorded in 1991 and shows signs of what the band was to become. Although it does not quite have the expansive sound of <a title="Souvlaki slowdive" href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=Souvlaki" target="_blank"><i>Souvlaki</i></a> or the vivid experimentation of <a title="Pygmalion slowdive" href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=Pygmalion" target="_blank"><i>Pygmalion</i></a>, you can hear the seeds of those albums being sown. There are waves of effected guitars, layers of light vocals floating around the mix, and perfectly saccharine dream pop songs. Both "Celia's Dream" and "Erik's Song" hint at what would happen on the band's future releases. Nine tracks in all.</p> <ul> <li>black vinyl pressing</li> <li>includes printed insert</li> <li>original release year: 1991</li> <li>music label: Sony 2025</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by Michu Meszaros 06/2016</h6>
