THE CORAL The Coral (2025 UK/EU 12-track LP pressed on classic black vinyl. The universally acclaimed debut album from The Coral, originally released in 2002, stands as one of the most distinctive British guitar records of its era. Co-produced by the band (under the alias Zion Egg) and Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds, this kaleidoscopic collection fuses Merseybeat, folk, sea-shanty pop, and neo-psychedelia into a sound entirely its own. Nominated for both the Mercury Music Prize and Brit Awards, The Coral reached No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Platinum, driven by the hit single "Dreaming of You." Its adventurous spirit and impeccable musicianship earned widespread critical praise - described by The Guardian as "a mass of remarkable contradictions" and "above all, fun." This edition mirrors the original vinyl configuration and includes the bonus track "Simian Technology" at the end of Side B. Picture sleeve, factory sealed. Recommended)
