THE CHAMELEONS WHAT DOES ANYTHING MEAN? BASICALLY 1985 STATIK UK FIRST PRESS
VINYL: VG+ PLAY GRADE: VG/VG+ COVER: VG+ NOTES: BEAUTIFUL & BRILLIANT ATMOSPHERIC POST PUNK MASTERPIECE. ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RELEASES IN THE GROUP'S CATALOG. The Chameleon's 1985 release on Statik delivers more POWERFULLY EMOTIONAL & AMBIENT SONGS MIXING HARD DRIVING POST PUNK GUITAR & RHYTHMS WITH ANALOG SYNTH and DEFIES THE GENRES BETWEEN GOTH OR INDIE. Simply GREAT STUFF that INFLUENCED THE UK & US INDIE & SHOEGAZE AS WELL AS GOTH SCENE FOR YEARS TO COME. From the DESPERATE ROCK of "PERFUMED GARDEN" to the EMOTIONAL SEND OFF "P.S. GOODBYE" the group created a body of work BELOVED BY FANS & COLLECTORS. Original Statik copies ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND ESPECIALLY AT AUCTION PRICING...this one has some light background noise (more prominent at the beginnings/between tracks) that the music mostly overpowers for a PLEASING LISTEN and the cover has very minor wear but is BRIGHT & BOLD +COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRICS INSERT. Not quite a minty copy but a GREAT PLAYER OR COLLECTION STARTER FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST WANTS TO ENJOY IT so YOU GOOD PEOPLE DECIDE THE PRICE AT AUCTION!
