One of my most prized possessions - Throwing Muses had been my favourite band for a few years before The Real Ramona came out so I raced down to Badlands in Cheltenham for the record on the day of its UK release.
I hope your vinyl is in good condition - enjoy 🖤

🦇🖤🦇 So good to see Pale Empress on this compilation from my friend Trev Bamford's label Nightbreed Recordings, Nottingham. He is just finishing off his PhD on Goth and hopefully will publish a book about the 90s Goth scene soon 🦇🖤🦇
