Riding Off into the Sunset

When I began the 4AD shares in April, I got a comment from Anonymous who sez:
     "Anything by the Rutkowski sisters?"

To which I sez:
     "I've shared several by The Hope Blister & there will definitely be several This Mortal Coil coming up. Anything in particular or is that good?"

To which Anon sez:
     "It's too hard to think. Anything rare, or not so rare. Thank you."

Well... 

 

 



Sunset Gun were sisters Louise & Deirdre Rutkowski with multi-instumentalist Ross Campbell. In 1984, they were snapped up by CBS who released three single & an album.

The Rutkowski sisters went onto bigger things, eventually gaining huge acclaim for their extraordinary vocal work on the last two This Mortal Coil albums on 4AD then The Hope Blister (as I alluded to above).   

Sunset Gun's sound is very much in the pop/soul field. This one's for you, Anonymous... 

 

Sunset Gun - In an Ideal World, CBS 26584, 1985.
