Mazzy Star grew out of an earlier band called Opal – David Roback and Hope Sandoval actually performed as Opal before renaming themselves to Mazzy Star. (Yes, like most people, I thought Mazzy Star was the lead singer’s name but it is not – she’s Hope Sandoval). Roback was also a founder of Rain Parade and Opal originally had Kendra Smith of Dream Syndicate as a lead singer. Small world.

So Tonight That I Might See was their second full-length, and the first on Capitol – their debut She Hangs Brightly (which Is on my want list) was on Rough Trade. I could listen to “Fade Into You” on repeat for hours but really the whole album is wonderful.

My copy is a 2017 reissue (the album was not released on vinyl in the US in 1993 though it was in the UK) via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA
