Provisionally titled ‘Country Life’, it was released in 2015 as part of a limited 5CD box set. Beggars Arkive are excited to now release it on vinyl for the first time. ‘Country Life’ consists of demos recorded for the album, and many of these only survived on reference cassettes but were digitally restored. The label are especially thrilled that Trevor Tanner has recorded a brand new acoustic reimagining of the song ‘Dolores Jones’, made specifically for this release. The Bolshoi were different. Their songs were dark and subversive, sufficient evidence for many critics to corral them under the ‘Gothic’ banner at the time of their debut – but they really only ‘flirted’ with Goth. They oozed dark, pensive lyrics supported with inventive pop-goth guitar making them nearly impossible to categorize. The suburban surrealism of the lyrics was rooted in the stories from characters on the fringes of society rather than brooding romantics, with an undercurrent of boredom, inadequacy and violence. Not the usual themes for pop success! Based in London, the band consisted of Trevor Tanner (lead vocals, guitar), Nick Chown (bass), Jan Kalicki (drums) and Paul Clark (keyboards). With powerful live shows, The Bolshoi built a substantial following before disbanding in 1988. Coloured vinyl double LP (one disc is green, the other red) in gatefold sleeve.
