Between the two albums the songwriting output by Jeff Clark and Grant Lee Phillips elevated into high gear, and the band recorded a number of new songs in demo versions, mostly on a home studio eight track cassette machine with Paul Kimble engineering. Work began on the Mercury Blues album proper in early summer of 1990, tracking (largely after-hours during 'down time') at Village Recorders, one of the best equipped, finest sounding, studios in Los Angeles at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAlong with the intense and potent results of those sessions, IPR's beautiful, remastered, 2021 reissue includes a bonus album of ten of the demo songs, none of which have ever been previously released.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eShiva Burlesque 'Mercury Blues (Skullduggery)' has sequentially numbered packaging  includes two BLUE LPs, a 12' x 24' folding poster insert with song lyrics and imagery, and a postcard-sized full color card with free download code for the entire 2 LP set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eUncut Magazine editor Allan Jones lauded the release as '...timeless, brilliant music' . Drawing comparisons to everything from John Cale to Echo \u0026amp; the Bunnymen to early Leonard Cohen, and described by All Music Guide as '... a powerful and graceful band too post-punk to be folk rock, and too folk to be post-punk'.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421385871745,"sku":"1928954","price":56.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0761971507508.jpg?v=1750649331","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1928954","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
