More Info

1985's . . . From Across The Kitchen Table was produced by Ian Broudie, soon to
form and redefne sugar-pop with The Lightning Seeds. The album is more unifed
than its predecessor as it was recorded over a shorter period of time. Lead single
Jean's Not Happening is one of the great lost indie gems of the 80s, complete
with a powerful string arrangement. The closing song, September Sting, is a
joyous slice of scouse-a-billy that points the way clearly to later groups such as
The Las.Near four decades later, Michael Head is adored by his hardcore
following and the wider world freshly discovers him as each of his new releases
achieves widescale acclaim, whether it be his subsequent band, Shack, or his
current outft, the Red Elastic Band. But The Pale Fountains was where it all
began.
This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1985 Virgin Records UK release with
printed inner and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
