The Coral - Locks And Keys

The Coral are a great, underrated band who have been going for over 10 years now. In that time they have released 6 studio albums and, as this collection showcases, recoded a lot more songs. This is made up of various demos, radio sessions and live performances, and must surely collect pretty much everything not commercially available that the band has done. Sound quality varies between songs, is good on demos and radio sessions but some of the live tracks are a bit worse (still very much listenable, though). Highlights of this exhaustive collection include Mirrors Collide, the demo of Pass It On and D'yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?, an Oasis cover. This collection is extremely rare, it's not on any other blogs and only ever seen it once anywhere online, on the excellent Bobjuice forums. This artwork (not made by me) comes included in the download. This is an essential package for any Coral fan, an absolute goldmine of rarities.
