Description

Crocodiles is the landmark debut album by Echo & The Bunnymen and one of the defining records of the post-punk movement. Originally released in 1980, the album introduced the Liverpool quartet's distinctive blend of atmospheric guitars, driving rhythms and Ian McCulloch's commanding vocals. Acclaimed upon release, it remains one of the finest debut albums of the era and laid the foundations for the band's hugely influential career.

Featuring the classic tracks Rescue, Pictures On My Wall, Going Up, Villiers Terrace and Crocodiles, this album remains an essential addition to any post-punk or alternative rock vinyl collection.
