Product Review

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing of this 1990 album from the alt-rock veteran. Black Sheets Of Rain, Bob Mould's second solo set followed the seminal Workbook, once again completely written and produced by Mould himself. Bass and drums are provided by Tony Maimone and Anton Fier, both previously of Pere Ubu Heavier, denser and more bleak than Workbook, the album is perhaps more similar to the Hüsker Dü sound. No commercial singles were issued from the album but the catchy 'It's Too Late' was promoted to radio in the USA.
