Today presenting, in our occasional series, the very wonderful ‘Up For a Bit
With The Pastels', one of the holy trinity of Scottish bands’ debut albums –
the others being the Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Psychocandy’ & Belle and
Sebastian’s ‘Tigermilk’ – that remain so dear to TOoT’s heart & sonic aesthetic
ideals (& now all present & correct in vinyl form, it gives us great
pleasure to announce, contemplate & enjoy).
This proved to be one of those LPs once & originally owned on vinyl
that just had to be reclaimed for the collection as an essential component, the
vitality of vinyl being the only way to properly experience the music contained
within, from the opening thrill of “Ride” (hold on tight, there), the various guitar-twanging
tunes on side one, the chiming bells of the glorious pop of “Automatically
Yours”, the fuggy fuzz of “Baby Honey”, to the closing strings of the gorgeous “If
I Could Tell You”, classic stuff indeed.
