MORPHINE - CURE FOR PAIN (180G LP)

Morphine Cure For Pain on 180g LP

“Low-rock” was one way enigmatic Morphine frontman Mark Sandman used to describe his band’s beat-inspired blues-jazz-rock holy racket. Along with Sandman’s baritone vocal delivery and laconic two-string bass styling, co-founder Dana Colley played a saxophone as his lead instrument of choice instead of the expected guitar, creating a quirky and burning sensibility. Original drummer Jerome Deupree, who was replaced by percussionist Billy Conway during the recording of 1993’s Cure For Pain, flushed out the unorthodox trio.

Released on vinyl as the second title on Light In The Attic’s Modern Classics Recordings imprint. Featuring the essential songs “Buena,” “Sheila,” “Candy,” and the moving title-track “Cure For Pain,” this is the album’s first-ever U.S. vinyl issue. Modern Classics’ Cure For Pain features lovingly re-mastered audio, 180g wax, deluxe “tip-on” gatefold jacket with original album art, and liner notes containing interviews with surviving band members.
