This Mortal Coil catalog reissues announced

Ivo Watts-Russell, the founder of 4AD Records, released his own music under the name This Mortal Coil. His records would often feature collaborators such as Cocteau Twins’ Elisabeth Fraser, Belly’s Tanya Donnelly, Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard, The Breeders’ Kim Deal and Magazine’s Howard Devoto among many others.
