Eddi Reader / Cavalier 2LP blue vinyl

New album • 2LP coloured vinyl includes CD • Limited to 500
Eddi Reader will issue a new studio album, Cavalier, in September.
Reader is still best known in the UK for her time in Fairground Attraction, the short-lived band she was in with Mark E. Nevin. They delivered one proper album and of course a UK number one hit single with Perfect.
That was all a long time ago though (Perfect celebrated its 30th birthday in March) and indeed, Cavalier will actually be Eddi’s 11th studio solo long-player. The 16-track album features a mix of contemporary and traditional songs and has been recorded and produced in Scotland by Reader and John Douglas
Cavalier will be issued on 180g 2LP BLUE vinyl, with gatefold packaging. This also comes with a CD of the new record and is limited to just 500 copies.
Eddi Reader will tour in October in support of the new album which is released on 28 September 2018 via Reveal Records.

Thanks Paul for including the price widget for “The Blanco Y Negro Years” here. I wasn’t aware that this is available for less than GBP 11 and ordered it right away.
Yes, some very good prices via Marketplace sellers!
Thanks for the heads up Paul; we don’t get much info here in the States on Eddi. Also note John Douglas is her husband and in the Trashcan Sinatras.
Have been an avid Eddi Reader fan for years.. so word of warning for anyone considering the CD.
Wait for the Japan version. All her albums had bonus tracks on the Japan Edition.
Japan does bonus tracks on lots of releases… didn’t think that was news, as such.
Looking forward to this, although I’ll stick with the CD. The blanco y negro box is superb. If you have liked any of her songs, this is worth a punt. There’s some great B sides on it from the halcyon CD single days of multiple extras, including an Ivor Cutler cover.
Her b-side covers of the Trashcans’ ‘Earlies’ and Blue Nile’s ‘Saturday Night’ from those days are also wonderful. And are also on the BYN box set, if any further incentive be needed at that price.
Always thought she’d do a fine version of American Music Club’s ‘Blue and Grey Shirt’ as well. Her voice would be just perfect for it. But then again, there’s a very long list of songs you could say that about.
Probably not including NIN’s ‘Shit Mirror’, though.
lovely to see an artist such as Eddi Reader on your site, Paul. i’m rather a completist with her output and would remind any would-be fans that the japanese editions of her cd’s frequently include excellent bonus tracks – today’s “b-sides,” if you will. (note that i do not know whether the japanese release of this new album will be any different or not.)
