Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde Says He Didn’t Know About His Band’s Record Store Day Reissues

Among the many records available in the UK for this year’s Record Store Day are new reissues of Cocteau Twins’ final two LPs: 1993’s Four-Calendar Café and 1996’s Milk & Kisses. Both were originally released in the UK on the Fontana label; the reissues are out via UMC/Universal UK and feature extra tracks on a bonus disc. Following the Record Store Day announcement yesterday, the band’s Simon Raymonde wrote on his Facebook, “I was surprised to read today that two of my band (Cocteau Twins)’s albums… are to be released on vinyl on RSD 17?” He added, “Would be nice to have known about it, but I would like to at least receive copies of it.” On Twitter, he asked Universal UK for “a few copies.” The label responded, “I’m sure we can arrange something.” Pitchfork has reached out to Raymonde and the label’s respective representatives for more information and comment.
