Look Blue Go Purple – Still Bewitched (Flying Nun / Captured Tracks) 2LP

Product Description

LBGP made their beginnings in 1983 in a Dunedin practice room under a motorcycle shop, using borrowed instruments they didn’t really know how to play. But it didn’t take these five women long to weave a bit of magic with the pieces of musical puzzle they were starting out with. They layered vocal harmonies, keyboards and even a touch of flute over their trademark Dunedin guitar strum and backbeat to create a distinctive sound of their own.

Look Blue Go Purple have long been a favorite Flying Nun band. While they obviously never reached the commercial success that The Clean or The Chills had and they never played outside of New Zealand their records are every bit as essential as any Flying Nun title you may hold dear. In the classic Flying Nun tradition they released three EPs and no full length records. Still Bewitched collects all three and adds seven live tracks. Six of those are unrecorded originals and the seventh is a cover of the Buffy Saint-Marie classic “Codeine.”
