my first foray into the world of bob mould came in the form of a best buy ad circa 1992 and their offering of copper blue for a mere $7.99. in retrospect, it is probably the greatest $7.99 plus tax I have ever spent. with that said, copper blue could arguably be the greatest record of all time, in my humble opinion.

I agree, Copper Blue is amazing, and similarly, it’s what turned me on to Bob at about the same time. Funnily, I like it more now than I did then.
Thanks for the tracks.
i concur. while when i first laid ears on copper blue i knew it was special, but some 14 years later i dont know what i would do without it.
I remember listening to Copper Blue on a friend’s crappy walkman on a noisy schoolbus and being totally fucking floored. I really hadn’t heard anything like it at the time, and it really changed my musical life. Looking back, I still don’t know that a more perfect pop record has ever been crafted.
