King Of The Slums - Dandelions Vinyl LP (1989) Midnight Music CHIME 01.04 D Gatefold
An original 1989 UK/European press of the debut studio album Dandelions by classic indie/post-punk outfit King Of The Slums. Released on the iconic Midnight Music label (CHIME 01.04 D), this edition features the original gatefold sleeve with full lyric inner spreads. Known for their unique blend of electric violin, aggressive noise-pop guitars, and biting lyrics, this record is an essential addition for collectors of late 80s UK indie rock, C86, post-punk, and alternative noise pop.
The sleeve is in great overall condition with standard light edge wear, and the vinyl retains a strong shine with minimal surface marks. A wonderful addition to any vintage record collection or C86/indie vinyl archive!
