{"product_id":"8719262040618","title":"SPACE FLOWER (PURPLE VINYL\/NUMBERED) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWild Swans, Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on purple coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Wild Swans are a post-punk band from Liverpool, England, formed by Paul Simpson in 1980 shortly after he left the Teardrop Explodes. Members of the Wild Swans have also been members of Echo \u0026amp; the Bunnymen, the Icicle Works, the Woodentops, the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Lightning Seeds. Their second album Space Flower is a fun, infectious, colorful album that came at a time when college rock was becoming increasingly dour and bland, replacing the earnestness of their previous Bringing Home the Ashes album with unabashed, playful psychedelia. The cover depicts a big, sticky ball of pastel-coloured candy - a perfect reflection of what's inside. \"Melting Blue Delicious\", a groovy piece of bubblegum pop, was the first single. The album ends with the 10-minute trancelike space-out, \"Sea of Tranquillity\". The record was poduced by Ian Broudie (a veteran of the Liverpool scene) He had played in the post-punk band Big in Japan with Bill Drummond (future Bunnymen manager and KLF member), Budgie (future Siouxsie \u0026amp; the Banshees drummer) and Holly Johnson (future Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer) and went on to produce some of the first Bunnymen tracks. Space Flower is a guitar-pop album at heart and still sounds pretty fresh 36 years after it's original release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILD SWANS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242540806389,"sku":"8719262040618","price":39.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/8719262040618.jpg?v=1780892054","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/8719262040618","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
