Morphine: Cure For Pain Deluxe Edition (Run Out Groove 180g) Vinyl 2LP Morphine

“One of the most unique, original and unusual rock bands to burst onto the alternative scene in the 90s, Morphine was originally formed by vocalist/bassist Mark Sandman, saxophonist Dana Colley and drummer Jerome Deupree (later replaced by Billy Conway) in Cambridge, Mass in 1989. They expertly combined blues, jazz and rock elements into a very distinct style, anchored by Sandman’s deep, crooning, beat-style vocals. Rather than having an electric guitar as the focal point like most rock bands, the trio’s sound was built around Sandman’s two-string electric bass (often deployed with a slide) and Colley’s growling, baritone sax which was dubbed as ‘low-rock.’ Cure For Pain is the band’s second album, released on Rykodisc in 1993. The tracks ‘Sheila’ and ‘In Spite Of Me’ were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 1994 indie film, Spanking The Monkey. The video for ‘Thursday’ also appeared on an episode of Beavis and Butthead. The track ‘Buena’ appears in episodes of The Sopranos and Daria. ROG is reissuing Cure For Pain as the last Ryko expanded Morphine studio album to get the original remaster treatment plus bonus tracks.” – Run Out Groove
