Before New Long Leg made them one of the most talked-about bands in post-punk, Dry Cleaning announced themselves with two EPs that landed like dispatches from another planet. Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks and Sweet Princess — now collected together, remastered, with original artwork and a lyric sheet — are where the South London four-piece's unlikely magic first took shape: Florence Shaw's deadpan, stream-of-consciousness spoken-word vocals riding over Tom Dowse's wiry, angular guitars, Lewis Mayhem's locked-in bass, and Nick Buxton's propulsive drums.

Shaw's lyrics read like overheard fragments from a stranger's inner monologue — absurd, specific, oddly poignant — while the band behind her plays with a taut, nervous energy that owes as much to Wire and Talking Heads as it does to their South London contemporaries. Essential listening for anyone who discovered Dry Cleaning later and wants to hear where it all started. Pressed on clear blue vinyl.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.

Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.

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

After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.

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.
