The Raincoats – The Raincoats

The little green Song Book was not part of the Record. I only got it at the Cash Register when I bought the Record back in 1979.

My copy contains a small green booklet. Was this part of the release, or was it handed out to buyers at record stores, or something?

Hi all, I recently picked up a copy of this as an LP but I can't seem to find my release anywhere.
Initially I thought it was a first pressing - identical labels, same category number - but the etching in the run-off reads something different.
On the A side it reads 'Construction and destruction of myths and melodies' and on the B side it reads 'Green is fab.'
If anyone has any info on this please let me know - I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.

I begin to wonder about that review..
"I never got Nirvana either"

It's all a matter of taste. The Raincoats were a minimalistic avantgarde folk/art/punk band as were We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It or even the early Fall - some people have no access to their music, others find them essential. This record is simply great!
Nowadays MIA is adored by many people. I see myself as a very open-minded music lover with interest in all genres, but I think she's just a waste of time, money and resources (as we Germans say: Verarschung).

Probably the worst record in my collection bought unheard on the back of an NME review. Total utter cr*p, why it is popular is beyond my understanding. But then I never got Nivarna either. Take my advice don't waste your life listening to this. I'm listening to it now just to check and I hate as much as when I bought it.
