PRODUCT DETAILS
Details: Recorded and self-released by The Shadow Ring's own Dry Leaf Discs in 1993, City Lights is the debut record of the then duo Graham Lambkin and Darren Harris-an assured arrival statement teeming with stripling angst and ambition. On a recently-acquired secondhand guitar, Lambkin plays repetitive, brooding licks that form the record's backbone, weaving in and out of sync with Harris's free-form percussion and the pair's sing-song poetry. Tracks range from unraveling nursery-rhyme ditties to extended jams awash with Casiotone and toy piano noodling. The duo's musical hobby-horses work themselves in: the influence of Mark E. Smith's breathless deadpan, the headless outer-edges of ESP-Disk's back catalog, the eerie atmospherics of Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa, and the deconstructed rock tunes of the Dunedin scene are all detectable, although there is a sui generis quality to the Shadow Ring's artless temerity. "I've got to see and taste those city lights," intones Lambkin on the album's title track-indeed, this is a record of naked drive and pent-up desperation, and a shimmering glimpse of what's to come.

Came on time and in good shape 💪😀
Perfect.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
Package was secure and nothing was damaged.
amazing album
The first time I heard this was from the video while sitting at my work computer. The sound of this on vinyl is so rich and deep. It's really the only way this should be listened to. Although, watching the video in the background does make the experience so much more. Mac's cute little grin is too much to go without.
This album is beautiful, arrived quickly and well packed. This is my favorite place to get my vinyl.
Great album sounds awesome
Fast shipping. Packaged well. Stoked to add this to my collection. Much better vendor than soundslikevinyl
I will not be taking this out of it package until next year on his Birthday. However, the packaging was undamaged and should be amazing when played on my record player. Thank you PBD for a fun piece of Posthumous Mac Miller.
It’s perfect! Got it as a gift for my husband he said he loves the orange color
Great product and awesome customer service! I’d buy from them again for sure.
Arrived in perfect new condition. Customer service was awesome
Excellent all around transaction
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
