Cocteau Twins Ready 'Garlands' and 'Victorialand' Vinyl Reissues

The albums come back to wax in March

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Jan 30, 2020

Cocteau Twins have been working to give their back catalogue the vinyl reissue treatment these past few years, and the band have now detailed two more titles that will come back to wax.

The band's 1982 debut Garlands and 1986's Victorialand will both be reissued on March 20 through 4AD.

Both albums will feature remastered audio pressed to 140-gram vinyl and will feature artwork faithful to the work of late designer Vaughan Oliver and artist Nigel Grierson.

This will mark the first time Garlands has been in print since 2009, while it's Victorialand's first time back in print since the 1980s.

The Garlands and Victorialand reissues are available for pre-order. You can see the tracklists to both reissues below.
