Del Amitri - Del Amitri
Originally released as a vinyl album on Chrysalis Records (CHR 1499) in 1985. Ripped here from a 1990 compact disc issue to lossless flac audio. Once Scottish indie-pop darlings who played The Hacienda supporting The Fall and then headlining The Wake in 1984, Del Amitri went all pompous mainstream rock in the late eighties and found huge chart success in sickening defiance of their more independent roots. Those with good enough memories will remember the jangling charm of the debut Sense Sickness (I am sure I had a copy somewhere ....now lost it seems) and the cracking debut album on Chrysalis with a short string of accompanying singles. For those too young to remember, expect charmingly gorgeous indie-pop with sprinkles of folk much like early James.
