Portishead: Dummy – LP

"Dummy" is the debut album by Bristol band Portishead, released on 22 August 1994 by Go! Discs. The album received critical acclaim and won the Mercury Music Prize in 1995.

This double gold record and Mercury Music Prize winner celebrates an INCREDIBLE 20 years this year, and so this gem finally spins on vinyl once again thanks to Universal Music Group and Back To Black Vinyl (originally Go! Beat Records).

Portishead is a trip hop group from Bristol, UK, named after the small town of Portishead, located about 13km west of Bristol.

Multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons formed the band in 1991. Barrow had previously worked with other trip hop musicians, including Massive Attack and Tricky, and decided to name his project after his hometown.
