The Chimes – The Chimes – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Insert, Coloured Vinyl, Reissue, Anniversary Edition

The Chimes is the only studio album by the Scottish trio The Chimes. Spearheaded by the strong and soulful vocals of Pauline Henry, their style overlaps with acid jazz, R&B, house, and downtempo much in the vein of Soul II Soul and Brand New Heavies.

It’s no surprise then that for their second single “1-2-3” they teamed up with Soul II Soul’s producers Jazzie B and Nellee Hooper, with great success. But it was their follow-up single “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”, a contemporary gospel-tinged R&B remake of the song by U2, that thrust them into the spotlight. Their debut album was a minor hit in the UK and a college radio favorite in the US but the trio parted ways regardless to pursue solo careers.

This 35th anniversary edition of The Chimes is the first reissue since 1990 and available as a limited edition of 500 numbered copies on gold vinyl.
