The Perfect Prescription

Their second album, with the album version of "Walkin' with Jesus" as track two.
Spacemen 3, 1987

The album was recorded at VHF Studios in Rugby and issued on Glass, then on Genius in the US, and reissued by Fire and by Taang! in 1996. It reached 13 on the UK indie chart. AllMusic gave it 4.5 stars, Pitchfork 9.6 and PopMatters 10 out of 10; Mathers wrote of the narcotic hum of the organ on "Walkin' with Jesus" that it is practically beatific. The song runs 5:03 here, with a 5:12 alternate and a 3:58 demo on the 2003 or 2004 Forged Prescriptions.
