RICHARD HAWLEY Coles Corner (A landmark of modern romantic songwriting, Coles Corner marked a creative high point in Richard Hawley's career. Now reissued in a 20th Anniversary Limited Zoetrope Picture Disc Edition LP, this collector's pressing celebrates the enduring elegance of Hawley's Sheffield-set love songs with an added visual flourish, merging sonic warmth with kinetic artwork that animates when spun on a turntable. Originally released in 2005, ColesCorner was Hawley's third studio album and his first for Mute Records, recorded at Sheffield's Yellow Arch Studios. Co-produced with long-time collaborator Colin Elliot and Mike Timm, it featured a top-tier ensemble including Shez Sheridan (guitars), Jon Trier (keys), Jonny Wood (bass), and Andy Cook (drums). Drawing from vintage '40s and '50s influences-chamber pop, country, and early rock 'n' roll - Coles Corner is a deeply nostalgic suite of love songs laced with longing, melancholy, and an unmistakable sense of place.
