'THE COLOUR OF SPRING' VINYL LP

1986 EMI RECORDS EMC 3506

RARE PROMO COPY WITH TIM FRIESE-GREEN CREDIT ERROR & INNER

FIRST PRESSING -  NEAR MINT CONDITION!!!

LOW START PRICE - NO RESERVE!

This album was so unexpectedly ahead of its time in 1986 people are still catching up to it twenty odd years later, although that's not a bad thing. Colour of Spring is one of those rare albums that can be appreciated on a lot of levels. The first thing people always notice about Talk Talk is Mark Hollis's unique nasal-congested voice, and his slurred annunciation. It's often hard to make out the lyrics of a Talk Talk song, which in an odd way is what makes them interesting, in the same way that Michael Stipe's delivery adds a little bit of enigma to a lot of early REM songs. While many of the lyrics are a bit cryptic, Hollis offers a generally philosophical look at humanity, although at moments he can turn quite caustic. As hinted in the album title, there's a general interest here in the cycle of nature, and thus this album's positioning in "spring" reflects a desire to simplify and focus on the important things in life, admonishing listeners not to lose sight of the importance celebrating the simple beauty of the world and living for the present.

From my personal archive. This is a Top copy and a must for any serious TALK TALK collector. This copy has only been played a handful of times for review purposes and is in NEAR MINT condition.

Keep an eye out! I will be listing more rare and essential titles that I have in my collection from my time as a music journalist in the 80's - all in amazing condition.
