He would be seeing out his plan of ten albums and ten singles in ten years alongside a new partner in Creation Records. This compilation beautifully captures those years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreation was beginning a rapid ascent at the time, with Alan McGee serving as it's hyperactive mouthpiece and focal point. McGee was all in on the band. \"Lawrence achieved pop perfection, a breathless rush of sensitivity and intelligence. It was too understated to be commercial, too art to go pop, too pop to go art-in other words it was a perfect combination of all the music I loved at the time.\" McGee was thrilled to have what he considered a real star on the label, and Lawrence was equally thrilled to have such an enthusiastic cheerleader. He funneled that enthusiasm into some of the most focused songwriting of his career, as well as some of his wildest experiments, all of which are on display here.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSide One - Bubblegum\u003cbr\u003e1 I Will Die with My Head in Flames\u003cbr\u003e2 Stained-Glass Windows in the Sky\u003cbr\u003e3 I Didn't Mean to Hurt You\u003cbr\u003e4 Space Blues\u003cbr\u003e5 Autumn\u003cbr\u003e6 Be Still\u003cbr\u003e7 There's No Such Thing As Victory\u003cbr\u003e8 Magellan\u003cbr\u003e9 The Final Resting of the Ark\u003cbr\u003e10 Sandman's on the Rise Again\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two - Perfume\u003cbr\u003e1 Don't Die on My Doorstep\u003cbr\u003e2 Tuesday's Secret\u003cbr\u003e3 Book of Swords\u003cbr\u003e4 Female Star\u003cbr\u003e5 Fire Circle\u003cbr\u003e6 The Darkest Ending\u003cbr\u003e7 Bitter End\u003cbr\u003e8 Rain of Crystal Spires\u003cbr\u003e9 Voyage to Illumination\u003cbr\u003e10 Ballad of the Band\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44033739554950,"sku":"NTES197202.1","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/felt-bubblegum-perfume.jpg?v=1780586425","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/felt-bubblegum-perfume-lp","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
