Heaven Or Las Vegas

Product Information

Secondary copies sent out will be opened and inspected before being re-shipped to guarantee a non defective replacement. Her technicolor trills are as sweeping as a warm summer breeze, Robin Guthrie’s guitars and drum programming sparkle and echo as entrancingly as a hypnotist’s pendulum, and Simon Raymonde’s bass and piano are as immersive as a five-star spa’s hot tub. Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed. An alternate version of “Pitch the baby” was recorded and released on the Mute Records/4AD compilation “Red Tape.

with Fraser’s famously incoherent vocals at their most intelligible, it’s the product of hours of obsessive studio craft. Using new masters created from high definition files transferred from the original analogue tapes, both albums are being pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl and come with download codes. There's also a beautiful detached feeling of travel like on Road, River and Rail which will take your breath away such is the emotion they bring.

Song titles escape me, indeed why bring them down to words or titles when the music here is totally off this planet and flows like a stream of consciousness from start to finish. Then, suddenly, 'Fifty-Fifty Clowns', that insistent beat, smooth keyboard chords stepping through up to a climax, wilting vocals behind a wailing guitar, but so smooth and mellifluous.

Then regretted after a year or so and got a different pressing (probably UK) but it wasn’t the same. I have to confess this is the only Cocteau Twins album i have in my vast labyrinth of sounds and in my humble opinion it is my fave album of any moment.

Released in 1990, Heaven or Las Vegas was the band's most commercially successful release, reaching number seven in the UK album charts. Road, River, and Rail” was included on the two-disc compilation that accompanied the 2013 book, Facing the Other Way: The Story of 4AD, by Martin Aston.I've listened to tracks on this album hundreds of times and this does not hold a candle to the original 1990 CD mix or the 2003 digital remaster. Anyway, although flat and quiet sounding, this release has seriously poor quality mastering all round.
