Shop Assistants - Will Anything Happen (2024 Vinyl Reissue)

Shop Assistants formed in Edinburgh in 1984 and quickly gained a cult
following, playing with kindred spirits the Pastels and the Jesus & Mary
Chain and gaining positive coverage in fanzines and the music press
Their Shopping Parade EP and Safety Net single both hit the top of the indie
charts and charmed listeners with their unique melodic blend of punk rock and
60s pop.
The band signed to Geoff Travis' new Chrysalis Records imprint, Blue Guitar, in
1986 for the release of their debut album 'Will Anything Happen'. The album has
since become a cult classic and is an essential listen for fans of indie, dreampop, and shoe gaze. Stand-out songs include the lead single 'I Don't Wanna Be
Friends With You', 'All Day Long', and 'Somewhere In China'.
Out of print for over a decade, vinyl copies now fetch impressive prices amongst
collectors. This new reissue features the album newly remastered from the
original tapes by Phil Kinrade and cut by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering. Pressed on
140g black vinyl, housed in a sleeve with spot-UV detailing and a printed inner
sleeve with lyrics and photos.
