Bolshoi, The – Country Life [2xLP GREEN & ORANGE VINYL 1980s goth rock] – New LP

The Bolshoi released three albums during their existence, but they also recorded a fourth album that was never officially released. Provisionally titled Country Life, it was released in 2015 as part of a limited 5-CD box set. We are excited to now release it on vinyl for the first time. The album is double colored orange and green vinyl. Country Life consists of demos recorded for the album, and many of these only survived on reference cassettes. We are especially thrilled that Trevor Tanner has recorded a new acoustic reimagining of the song “Dolores Jones” specifically for this release.
