On this day forty years ago, This Mortal Coil released their debut album "It'll End In Tears". Technically classed as a band, This Mortal Coil was a loose collection of artists on the legendary 4AD label, coordinated by founder Ivo Watts-Russell.

Appearing on the album were Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance, Howard Devoto of Buzzcocks and Magazine, and Robin Guthrie and Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins who created a breath-taking cover of the Tim Buckley track "Song to the Siren". youtu.be/HFWKJ2FUiAQ?...
