LONELY DAYS
(CDEP & 7: 1997)
The Lonely Days ep was released domestically as a CD in
1997 on Slow River / Rykodisc . The title track is the same
version as that on Memories of Love , but Claudia Gonson's
vocals on the second track are replaced with Stephin Merritts.
This was not the first version of 'Hopeless' recorded with
Stephin on lead vocals. In 1995 a version of 'Hopeless'
was released on a compilation called Red Hot and Bothered:
An Indie Rock Guide to Dating. The third track, 'Love is
Blue', is a cover of a song originally by Blackburn / Popp
and made famous in recordings by Paul Mauriat and Claudine
Longet, among others. Stephin sings How To Get Laid
in Japanese (in Japanese), and Berlin On $10
A Day is an instrumental.
Setanta Records in the UK also released the Lonely Days
EP, as well as a 7 single, which featured two songs:
"Lonely Days" and "Hopeless".
1. Lonely Days
2. Hopeless (Stephins vocal version)
3. Love Is Blue
4. How to Get Laid in Japanese
5. Berlin On $10 A Day
