Described by music journalist and author Everett True as  A 30-minute insight into what it s like to live hard and fast and loose and happy with like-minded buddies, fueled by a shared love for similar bands and drugs and booze and freedom.  It's A Shame About Ray  had a considerable impact back in those heady, carefree days of '92, the record perfectly captures Dando s ability to effortlessly encapsulate teenage longing and lust over the course of a two-minute pop song. The reissue includes a download card with a slew of extra material, including the  My Drug Buddy  KCRW session track from 1992 featuring Juliana Hatfield, B-sides from singles  It s A Shame About Ray  and  Confetti , a track from the  Mrs. Robinson\/Being Round  EP. Singles such as 'My Drug Buddy' and the breezy perfect pop of the title track might stand out (plus the add-on of 'Mrs. Robinson' which later copies included), but the album's real strength lies in the tracks in-between; the truly fantastic 'Confetti' (written about Evan's parents' divorce), and the eye-wateringly casual acoustic cover of 'Frank Mills' (from the \"hippie\" musical Hair), a version that seems to resonate with every ounce of pathos and emotion felt for the lost 1960s generation. - 2356148S *** In Stock In Our Shoreditch Shop ***","brand":"Flashback Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57679228436863,"sku":"N2356148S","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/4576\/5282\/files\/lFB393320_5d4c6bff-e48d-4e08-878e-34f173a34148.jpg?v=1780595885","url":"https:\/\/flashback.co.uk\/products\/the-lemonheads-its-a-shame-about-ray-393320","provider":"Flashback Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
