• 3:53 Cocteau Twins - Wax and Wane [Pink Opaque Version] [HQ 320 kbps]

The Cocteau Twins signed an international distribution agreement in 1985, and to mark the occasion—and to give Americans some exposure to what the band had previously recorded—4AD released a compilation album entitled "The Pink Opaque" in November. The album's ten tracks draw from material released from 1982 to 1984, and include songs from "Garlands", "Head Over Heels", "Sunburst and Snowblind", "The Spangle Maker", and "Treasure", as well as "Millimillenary", previously only available on a various artists cassette. "Wax and Wane," the earliest track on the album, had been re-mixed.
