[385] - The Mabuses - self titled LP
The Mabuses were a London band, and this is the first of two albums they released on Rough Trade in the early 90s. Dean guests on backing vocals on tack two, In The Long Run.
… that track, and most of the album, was recorded by Kramer at Noise New York which I guess explains Dean’s appearance. Maybe he just happened to be in the neighbourhood? The album was released in 1991 so dates from around the end of Galaxie 500.
I didn’t buy this album at the time, but was aware of The Mabuses (and may well have seen them supporting someone back in the day… although I do think that about a lot of bands, but… I did see a lot of support bands in the early 90s). When I started the website I think someone sent me a copy of the album on cassette but I only got around to buying a copy last year.
