Simon Raymonde

Solo Works 96-98

£31.99

Released: 9th December 2022. Simon Raymonde recorded his solo album 'Blame Someone Else' while still in Cocteau Twins. Fellow Twins Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie appeared on 'Blame Someone Else', as did late-period member Mitsuo Tate. But Cocteau Twins were no more by the time it was out. Originally issued in October 1997 it became the first release on Bella Union, a new label run by Robin and Simon. And now by Simon alone. Circumstances change and 'Blame Someone Else' unexpectedly arrived in a world where Cocteau Twins were in the past. Twenty-five years later, 'Blame Someone Else' is now being released under the name 'Solo Works 96-98', appearing on vinyl for the first time with the addition of the three bonus tracks from 1998's Japan-only edition.
