LP – Lush – Gala (35th)

1 LP

Initially released in 1990 as the band’s introduction to the US and Japanese market, Lush’s “Gala” was the U.K. shoegaze pioneers’ debut compilation album, comprising their earliest releases – “Scar” (1989), “Mad Love” (1990), and “Sweetness And Light” (1990) – in reverse chronological order, plus two additional tracks (a cover version of ABBA’s Hey Hey Helen and the extended Robin Guthrie mix of “Scar” track Scarlet).

Back in print for the first time since 1990, the compilation’s 35th anniversary edition features Kevin Vanbergen remasters of the original track listing, artwork by v23 (Vaughan Oliver and Chris Bigg), and a new biography written by Jenny Hval.
