THE ASSOCIATES Fourth Drawer Down (2024 UK/EU limited edition 8-track LP pressed on 180-gram Translucent Blue Vinyl. Fourth Drawer Down is the Associates' 1981 compilation that gathers together the A- and B-sides from the six singles they released during that year, and highlights the group's darker, more experimental direction as they moved beyond the sharper pop contours of The Affectionate Punch. The material reveals Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine pushing further into stark atmospheres, oblique lyricism and electronic textures. Tracks such as "White Car In Germany" and "Message Oblique Speech" underline the band's growing confidence in mood and abstraction, while retaining the melodic tension that defined their early work. The compilation was well received on release, with critics noting the deepening sense of mystery and commitment to sonic experimentation. This special edition is housed in a gatefold picture sleeve with each copy individually silver-foil numbered and strictly limited to just 750 copies, with a gold hype sticker completing the package.
