-
Signing
to
Polydor
Records,
the
group's
debut
single,
Perfect
Skin,
was
released
in
early
1984
followed
in
October
of
that
year
by
their
debut
album,
Rattlesnakes.
Produced
by
Paul
Hardiman
with
strings
arranged
by
Anne
Dudley,
it
became
one
of
the
most
cherished
albums
of
the
80s.
Including
further
singles
Forest
Fire
and
the
title
track,
the
group
found
themselves
as
the
darlings
of
the
music
press,
at
a
time
when
a
university
education
was
still
a
relative
rarity.
Cole
wasted
little
time
in
cramming
cultural
allusions
in
his
material
–
listeners
were
introduced
to
a
world
of
Norman
Mailer,
Eva
Marie
Saint
and
Truman
Capote,
all
wrapped
in
delightfully
written
pop
music.
This
re-
issue
faithfully
replicates
the
original
1984
Polydor
Records
UK
release
with
printed
inner
sleeve
and
is
pressed
onto
high
quality
180g
vinyl.
