The Triffids "Raining Pleasure" + Live Bonus EP 1984

A fairly solid early album, however things would only get better from here. - zigsterExcellent mini-lp, that's still not available on cd. The songs are very nice and varied, sounding like a combination of their pre-album singles, Treeless Plain and Born Sandy Devotional. The title track also features the lead vocalist debut from keyboardist Jill Birt.Line-Up:
