First vinyl reissue in an exact-repro sleeve. Limited to 1,000 LPs. Mastered from a digital transfer off the original analogue reels. Includes download code. Personal Injury present R Stevie Moore's classic 2nd album 'Delicate Tension', originally released by Stevie's uncle on HP Music in 1978. 'Delicate Tension' is regarded as an absolute highlight of Moore's massive discography and was featured as one of his six most 'essential' albums in The Wire's recent cover article. His first LP made in New York. Along with 'Swing And A Miss', 'Delicate Tension' shows Moore at the peak of his powers. Every track is a winner and there's an abundance of his gorgeous song smithery. Sporting a sonic clarity and balance, and with an emphasis on lean, slightly wonky instrumentation, the cool breeze of new wave is distinctly present. Exquisite.
