After numerous line-up changes and independent releases Boston's Lemonheads signed to Atlantic Records for 1990's Lovey. It was with that record that Evan Dando began to move from Replacements style punk-pop into more gentle and jangly territory, and it's here, on It's A Shame About Ray, that he perfects his vision and launches the Lemonheads into international stardom. Featuring Blake Babies member Juliana Hatfield, It's A Shame About Ray is one of the hookiest and catchy records of the 'alternative' era and holds up now as a jangle-pop classic alongside anything from Eight Miles High to Life's Rich Pageant. 180 gram vinyl.
