Back in 1986, The Pink Opaque brought together the best of the Cocteau Twins’ early works to become their first official release in the US.
Already a cult band on college radio, some classics like “Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drops” and “Aikea-Guinea” were given new mixes for this release, while it also featured “Millimillenary,” the first run out for incoming band member Simon Raymonde.
To this day, it remains a great entry point to a wonderful band.
