Shelleyan Orphan - Humroot

Ripped from a compact disc album released on Rough Trade Records (R 2792) in 1993 to high quality lossless flac audio. Rounding off a brief run of Shelleyan Orphan posts, here is their last for Rough Trade, recorded with original Cure member Porl Thompson, which has slightly more of an indie-pop feel than the first two. Enjoy.

Shelleyan Orphan : An Appreciation

Shelleyan Orphan - Helleborine

Ripped from a compact disc album released on Rough Trade Records (ROUGH CD97) in 1987 to high quality lossless flac audio. Something a little more relaxing for a cold, grey Winter Sunday. It was sad to hear of Caroline Crawley's passing in October 2016, though she gained more praise for her vocal contributions to This Mortal Coil, for many including myself, it was these releases with Jemaur Tayle and their very unique Shelleyan Orphan project. If there was ever a band more suited to 4AD....

Shelleyan Orphan - Anatomy Of Love

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Rough Trade Records (RTT 207) in 1987 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac. Thank you to Steve for his rip of this 12" single. Does anybody have a copy of the Cavalry Of Cloud 12" to hand for a potential rip?
