Title: In Ribbons Condition: New Description: The 1990 debut album from Pale Saints, 'The Comforts of Madness', is an outstanding record that owed as much to post-punk and L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene than it did to shoegaze. The Sunday Times called it 'an unintended indie manifesto: music that is at once wayward and concise, dissonant and beautiful.' Shortly after its release and in need of a second live guitarist, Lush founding member Meriel Barham joined the Leeds trio of Ian Masters, Graeme Naysmith and Chris Cooper, bringing a new dynamic to the band. Having previously worked well with producer Hugh Jones (Echo & The Bunnyman, Modern English, The Sound), he did a brilliant job recording their second album, 'In Ribbons' (1992), despite some studio tensions. Brooklyn Vegan said in a recent celebration of the album that it was the 'push and pull between Masters' outsider tendencies and (the rest's) commercial interests that makes 'In Ribbons' so good. If some of the wild, ragged edges of 'Comforts of Madness' have been smoothed off, the album makes up for it with scope and beauty. And there's still no shortage of weird.' Missing its original release date in 2022 due to Covid delays and a production plant in meltdown, 'In Ribbons' is finally getting the 30th Anniversary celebration it deserves with a special double LP/CD release - the first disc being the UK version of the album, and the second a bonus disc of never before heard demos (including their first attempt at Slapp Happy's 'Blue Flower' and Ian's 4 track recording of 'Kinky Love') and two brass band versions by The Tintwistle Band.
