It was to sell twice as many copies in its first two weeks as Rattlesnakes had to date, giving the group a Top 5 chart placing on its release in November 1985. Recorded with 80s super-producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, its first two singles, the brooding, gospel influenced Brand New Friend and the forever-jaunty Lost Weekend reached the UK Top 20.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1985 Polydor Records UK release with printed inner sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl using the artist-approved 2020 remaste\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ireland Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53805617480013,"sku":"0805520240222","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3515\/0020\/files\/LloydColeAndTheCommotions.jpg?v=1777474171","url":"https:\/\/www.irelandvinyl.com\/de\/products\/lloyd-cole-and-the-commotions-easy-pieces","provider":"Ireland Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
