2025 Charity Shop Purchases #25 - The Raveonettes - Chain Gang of Love
If you were to look up the word Scuzzy in the dictionary one of the definitions would surely read - the music of The Raveonettes.
I saw the Danish duo twice at King Tuts and they completely blew me away.
I've picked up a few of their records over the years but for some reason I have only ever had a burn of their first full length album 2003's Chain Gang of Love. It is rare to see any of their albums in the wild and so it was duly snapped up.
The albums, while decent enough, are not a patch on their live performances.
While listening to this album reasonably loudly, which is recommended, Mrs CC was shouting at me from another room trying to attract my attention. I thought it was part of the music and therefore ignored her. Needless to say she was not impressed!

A nice discovery! You finding it "in the wild" and the thought of poor Mrs CC being mistaken for a Raveonettes record did make me smile.
