The six songs fill one LP, three to a side, from \"Myrrhman\" through \"Runeii.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaughing Stock\u003c\/em\u003e was Talk Talk's fifth and last studio album, released on September 16, 1991. Bassist Paul Webb had left after \u003cem\u003eSpirit of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e, so the band was down to singer Mark Hollis and drummer Lee Harris. They had left EMI on bad terms and signed to Polydor, which put the record out on its newly revived, jazz-based Verve imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Friese-Greene produced it and Phill Brown engineered, at Wessex Sound Studios in London from September 1990 to April 1991. As on \u003cem\u003eSpirit of Eden\u003c\/em\u003e, a large ensemble improvised for hours and the takes were edited into the finished pieces. Brown later said the album was \"recorded by chance, accident, and hours of trying every possible overdub idea.\" The band split up after its release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"After the Flood,\" \"New Grass\" and \"Ascension Day\" were issued as singles that autumn. The album has since come to be cited as an early landmark of post-rock: Pitchfork gave it a perfect 10 and ranked it eleventh among the best albums of the 1990s, and Stylus Magazine named it the greatest post-rock album in 2007. No official video from the band or label exists for these songs, so none is embedded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMyrrhman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the Flood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col start=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaphead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuneii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Talk Talk titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/talk-talk-it-s-my-life\"\u003eIt's My Life\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/talk-talk-spirit-of-eden\"\u003eSpirit Of Eden\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600753655191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polydor \/ Umgd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.22.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Polydor","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500908576926,"sku":"EVP-BA2F2953-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/1500x1500bb_c2ebf66b-ea59-46a8-adff-e6c3fce13718.jpg?v=1791879795","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/talk-talk-laughing-stock-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
