'Gold Mine Trash' hoovers up tracks from Felt's earliest Cherry Red run between 1981 and 1985, and includes their beloved 'Primitive Painters' collaboration with Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser.
Felt's pre-Creation material was marked by Lawrence's relentless creative dynamic, a process that saw him battle his bandmates and steamroll various producers until he'd worked out how to realise his vision. 'Gold Mine Trash' was produced by John Rivers, John Leckie and Robin Guthrie, and while it doesn't have quite the same level of coherence as the later 'Bubblegum Perfume', it still helps map out Lawrence's misunderstood genius in multiple dimensions.
A handful of these tracks were recorded as demos for Warner sub-label Blanco Y Negro, but were turned down. 'Dismantled King Is Off The Throne' is the best of these, and alongside 'Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow' shows the kind of jangling, off-center poppiness and abstract lyricism that'd be thrust into the charts a few years later by Pulp. Robin Guthrie's productions are expectedly interesting too, despite being at odds with Felt's aesthetic. 'The Day the Rain Came Down' is almost drowned completely by Guthrie's signature reverb, but 'Primitive Painters' - which features Liz Fraser on backing vocals - more than makes up for it.
