Cover Notes: Pale Saints complete their series of 30th anniversary reissues with the release of an expanded edition of their third and final album, 'Slow Buildings'. By 1994, they were the quartet of Meriel Barham (vocals/guitar), Chris Cooper (drums), Graeme Naysmith (guitar) and Colleen Browne (bassist), who having just left The Heart Throbs replaced founding member Ian Masters who had departed the band to form Spoonfed Hybrid with AC Temple's Chris Trout. Primed by the brilliant single 'Fine Friend' (a song adapted from 1981's 'Poison in the Airwaves' by Scottish band Persian Rugs), third album 'Slow Buildings' shows the band still venturing forward - this time, keeping the experimentation and guitar fuzz of their early records whilst opening-up their songs so Meriel's vocals could hit new, pop heights. This special vinyl pressing is being pressed on petrol blue vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by Timothy O'Donnell and Roy Burns III, using the original art photography by Dominic Davies. A record that stands the test of time 30 years on, 'Slow Buildings' is well worthy of reappraisal. This reissue is being released in the memory of Graeme Naysmith.
