DUNCAN DHU - CANCIONES LP (GRABACIONES ACCIDENTALES [GA-097], 1986) [ESP]
Duncan Dhu - Canciones LP
(Grabaciones Accidentales – [GA-097], 1986) [ESP]
I don't post to many full albums on here, but in the last couple of years this sophomore release from Duncan Dhu may be the LP I have listened to the most! Ugly ass cover with Papyrus type, but killer indie pop / jangle pop tunes sung in Spanish from Basque Country, Spain.
I tried buying this one off of Discogs, and I received the American released version. Though, the American release has the exact same cover artwork, the track-listing is different on the US release. The US release compiles songs from the bands first three albums, and just rehashes this artwork. Unfortunately, still on the hunt for the LP - may have to buy it from Spain to make sure I get the correct copy, as I prefer the songs on this release.
