THE RAIN PARADE - Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (Deluxe Edition) Vinyl

Rain Parade's seminal debut album, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, is set to receive a deluxe 2xLP reissue. Originally emerging from the late 70s and early 80s Los Angeles scene known as the 'Paisley Underground,' the band's music blended Californian and UK psychedelic rock influences with a punk/DIY edge. The album, originally released in 1983, quickly gained international recognition for its distinctive sound, with standout tracks sung by core members Matt Piucci and Steven Roback. This deluxe edition of Emergency Third Rail Power Trip includes the original ten-track album on the first LP, alongside a bonus LP filled with demos and live recordings, offering fans an even deeper dive into Rain Parade's early work. Tracks like 'Talking In My Sleep' and 'Look Both Ways' remain timeless, showcasing the band's ability to merge dreamy psychedelia with raw energy. Rain Parade's influence on 80s and 90s guitar-driven music is undeniable, with artists like Ride's Andy Bell citing them as a major inspiration. This reissue, coupled with their upcoming UK and European tour, reaffirms the band's enduring legacy in the psychedelic rock landscape.
