From Wikipedia

It'll End in Tears is the debut album by the 4AD multi-artist studio project This Mortal Coil, a loose grouping of artists brought together by label boss Ivo Watts-Russell. Released on 1 October 1984, it features many of the artists on the label's roster, including Elizabeth Fraser and Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, Gordon/Cindy Sharpe of Cindytalk, Martyn Young of Colourbox and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance. While side one is mostly covers selected by Watts-Russell, side two contains original tracks composed by Raymonde and Gerrard.
