- Format: CD
- Label: El Records
- Genre: Rock / Pop
Out of print for a decade , now available by Cherry Red for the first time on compact disc comes the el records classic "Thames Valley Leather Club" by Always. Always was very much part of that rainbow of el artists whose brilliantly playful, wonderfully incomprehensible escapist fantasy pop would influence an entire generation at the creative end of independent music including the likes of Stereolab, The Cardigans, Air, St.Etienne and Beck and the entire Japanese Shibuya scene. This deluxe edition is supplemented by material from the long deleted and much sought after 12" singles "ariel atlas" and "metroland" and amounts to a most desirable and definitive account of the Always work and the highly original el records sensibility of the eighties.
