Description

Asphal Ribbons (Tindersticks) - Old Horse white Label mini LP with Promo Kit - ETT Records E101.1

This is a  very rare promotional test pressing copy with no outer sleeve and just the artist name written by hand on the label.

It was used as a promotional sales copy and comes with the following:

1. Photocopied black and white proof of the CD cover (booklet and rear)
2. Promotional band photo on photographic paper
3. Photocopied sheet with Record Company sales notes ("Sounds like:Triffids, Robert Forster, Scott Walker, even James?")

From Wikipedia:

In 1991 the band relocated to London and shifted position again, this time to the pre - Tindersticks line-up featuring Stuart Staples (vocals), David Boulter (organ and accordion), Neil Fraser (guitar), Dickon Hinchliffe (guitar and strings), Al Macaulay (percussion and drums) and John Thompson (bass). They recorded "Tiger Lily" (1991), "Passion, Coolness, Indifference ..." (1991) and Old Horse (1991) for Rough Trade.

Mark Colwill replaced John Thomson in the last days before Asphalt Ribbons became Tindersticks. Mark was recruited when John left but it is not sure if he played any gigs under the Asphalt Ribbons name. They then changed their name to Tindersticks after Stuart discovered a box of German matches on a Greek beach.

Their sound is more country influenced than Tindersticks, but already features the distinctive vocals of Stuart Staples.
