Released in 1994 as a single from Now I’m a Cowboy, “Chinese Bakery” showcases The Auteurs at their sardonic best. Luke Haines wraps sharp social commentary in lush chamber pop arrangements—acoustic guitars, cellos, and deadpan delivery layered over perfectly restrained production.

It's Britpop-adjacent, but far too clever (and too bitter) to fully play the game. A must for fans of outsider charm and poison-tipped songwriting.

For fans of: Pulp, The Divine Comedy, art-school angst
Mood: Understated venom, cigarette smoke, sideways glances

Greycat Used FAQ

How do you grade used vinyl?

All of our used vinyl is hand-graded and fully play-tested to ensure accuracy and quality. We follow the Goldmine standard and grade conservatively.

Here’s how we rate:

  • Mint (M): Perfect, sealed, or unplayed. Extremely rare.
  • Near Mint (NM): Looks and plays like new with minimal signs of handling.
  • Very Good+ (VG+): A few light cosmetic marks or faint surface noise—plays great.
  • Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear and some background noise, but no skips or major flaws.
  • Good (G): Heavier wear and noise, but still listenable.
  • Fair (F): Heavily worn or noisy—priced accordingly and sold as-is.

Can I return my used vinyl purchase?

All used vinyl sales are final.

If you have questions about condition, feel free to reach out before ordering—we’re happy to give you the details.

We’re here to earn your trust. Need photos of the sleeve or vinyl? Just ask.

This is what sets us apart from the Amazons and Walmarts of the world. We actually care about what we’re sending you.
