The Raincoats, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music), was the debut album by The Raincoats. The album is perhaps best known for its off-kilter cover of "Lola" by The Kinks and the album's seventh track "The Void". The album was re-released by Rough Trade in 1994, with liner notes by Kurt Cobain. The cover painting is by Pang Hsiao-Li. The album was re-released on 9 November 2009 in vinyl with a free MP3 download and an extra track "Fairytale in the Supermarket" and as a special edition enhanced digipak CD including live footage from 1977 and 1979 and a video of "Fairytale in the Supermarket" on We ThRee, the band's own label in the UK and on the Kill Rock Stars label in the USA.
In May 2010 the band will perform the album in its entirety in London.
