"The dry, Thomas Dolby-less production came as a bit of a shock at the time but Swoon stands up pretty well today. Though some critics have compared the album to Steely Dan, my contemporary reference points would be Lloyd Cole, The Smiths, Aztec Camera and Songs To Remember-era Scritti, though it’s basically impossible to locate Prefab’s influences." (MovingTheRiver)

"Swoon urges its listeners through successive sketches of subjection to ultimately arrive not at revelation, but at an immeasurable void." (Sputnik Music)

Grading details

All records are graded visually if nothing else is noted.
MINT/SS - Sealed at production and never opened, no visible wear to the cover.
NM/NEW - Near Mint/New: A new and unplayed item with no visible wear.
NM - Near Mint: The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. At most a very minor, barely visible scuff or two. Very minor signs of wear of the cover.
EX - Excellent: The vinyl has some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. The cover may have some light general wear, there may be just the start of ring wear, corners may have small creases, some minor seam wear, but no splits or tears.
VG - Very Good: The vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. Covers are worn and used, and may have moderate ringwear, corners may have damage or creases, there may be seam wear/very light splits, and there may be light scratches.
