[306] Dean Wareham - Love is Colder Than Death (7")

So another duplicate in my one for show, one for blow collection… although I guess since I’m playing everything in this series… they’re now both for blow? Love is Colder Than Death was Dean’s first solo single after more than a 20 year gap and was released on Sonic Cathedral in 2013.

Given that I’ve already covered the single twice - one the same as this, and the test pressing that Nat sent me back then - I guess there’s not a lot more to say… maybe I’ll just give a nod to another classic Dean rhyme - “cats and mices have their vices”.

This is one of two copies I bought when Sonic Cathedral were selling them for just two quid a pop in 2014. I think I gave one away in a competition, or as a survey incentive, at some point.

Here’s a nice clip of Dean, Britta and Roger playing the song in 2018.
