Soft Boys, The - Underwater Moonlight (45th Anniversary) - Vinyl Record
Released in 1980, Underwater Moonlight sold little at the time, yet it became one of the great cult albums of the post-punk era. Robyn Hitchcock, Kimberley Rew, Matthew Seligman and Morris Windsor fused 1960s psychedelia and jangling guitars with punk's wiry energy, and the record went on to inspire a generation of college rock and indie bands.
Hitchcock's surreal, witty songwriting is everywhere, from the gleeful menace of "I Wanna Destroy You" and the shimmering "Kingdom of Love" to "Insanely Jealous", the beautiful "The Queen of Eyes" and the hypnotic title song.
Tiny Ghost Records marks the 45th anniversary with this deluxe reissue, mastered and cut from the original master tapes by John Baldwin at Infrasonic Sound and pressed on 140-gram D2 premium vinyl. It restores the original version of "Old Pervert" instead of the disco version used on every release since the first UK pressing, and includes a 20-page booklet with rare photographs and liner notes by David Fricke and Robyn Hitchcock. A must for fans of jangle and psych.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
