Everything But The Girl – Baby, The Stars Shine Bright (Vinyl LP, WEA Records, 1986) – EX / EX

A chamber-pop album that leans into orchestral arrangements and refined songwriting. The production is elegant and measured, built around strings, piano and Tracey Thorn’s restrained vocal delivery. It marks a distinctive mid-80s moment in the band’s catalogue, focused on tone and composition over rhythm. Vinyl LP in EX/EX condition.
