Roches - The Roches (45th Anniversary) (RUBY RED VINYL)

NEW. SEALED.

RSD 2024 Release

Real Gone Music

ItÕs hard to remember an album that made a bigger critical splash than The Roches. John Rockwell of The New York Times labeled it Òthe best pop record of 1979,Ó Jay Cocks in Time called their music Òstartling, lacerating, and amusing,Ó Trouser Press gave it 10/10, Rolling Stone Record Guide gave it 5 stars, and so on. But all of the plaudits donÕt really do the album justiceÉbecause this record has more personality pressed into every groove than any other ten you could name. ItÕs not ostensibly a feminist record; the unabashed joy of creation coming from these three sisters transcends all questions of gender and ideology. But it is one of the boldest and most personal albums ever made. And itÕs got Robert Fripp on guitar and Tony Levin on bass! Put simply, there ainÕt no album like The RochesÕ 1979 debut, and for its 45th anniversary (and first U.S. LP reissue in 40 years), weÕre pressing it in ruby red vinyl limited to 1500 copies, with a printed inner sleeve featuring the compulsively readable lyrics. Exclusive for Record Store Day!
