We ThRee (The band's own label) announce the reissue of the "The Raincoats" the legendary first album by The Raincoats originally released on Rough Trade Records in 1979. Widely acclaimed as one of the musical highlights of the post punk period and a breakthrough moment for women in music, "The Raincoats" has been commercially unavailable for the past 10 years. The album was recorded in 1979 by Ana da Silva, Gina Birch, Palmolive and Vicky Aspinall and was produced by Geoff Travis and Mayo Thompson. We ThRee is The Raincoats' own label and we will release the vinyl LP on 19 October and a special edition enhanced CD on 9 November 2009. The album has been re-mastered from original masters. The CD has an extra track from the band's first single 'Fairytale in the Supermarket' and is enhanced with live film footage from 1977 and 1979 and the video for "Fairytale in the Supermarket' directed by Gina Birch in 1995 and the liner notes were written by Kurt Cobain in 1993. "I really don't know much about The Raincoats except that they recorded some music that has affected me so much that whenever I hear it I'm reminded of a particular time in my life when I was (shall we say) extremely unhappy, lonely and bored. If it weren't for the luxury of putting on that scratchy copy of The Raincoats' first record, I would have had very few moments of peace". The press campaign is by Stone Immaculate Press and so far the news story has produced an "ecstatic" response. There will be online pre-release promotion with the launch of The Raincoats web site in October. The band performed a rare show at the prestigious National Portrait Gallery in London on Friday 25th September and a documentary of the band, 'The Raincoats - Fairytales', directed by Gina Birch, screened at the Cambridge Film Festival on 26th September. The band are planning a special London show to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album's first release in mid November and the band will tour in Japan in 2010. At last this truly classic album is now remastered and available again.
