Rattlesnakes was released in NZ in 1984. It was preceded by the single Forest Fire, the video of which played extensively on TV.I bought the LP early and find that it is one album from the period that I still play regularly. It is packed with wry observant songs and was/is simply a tremendous debut album. I have a few other albums by Cole but none to me have the same consistency.
From the opening Perfect Skin, through Down on Mission St, Charlotte Street, 2CV and Four Flights Up Cole and the band hardly put a foot wrong.
Great stuff!!
