2001 reissue with 6 bonus tracks of 3 out of print singles. Fans of the K Records and Sarah Records catalog, this is classic - in the vein of Field Mice, The Vaselines, Cub and Dressy Bessy. Twee pop at its finest! Find out why Heavenly are icons of the indie pop world. If you love infectious melodies, galloping guitars, and sometimes-sweet/sometimes-spunky lyrics, you`ll adore this album."4 1/2 stars... Heavenly`s first album is a remarkable maturation of Talulah Gosh`s old manic guitar strum. The melodies are every bit as peppy, but the shambolic chaos is transformed into a sound that, while still jumpy and loose, is much more restrained and sweetly melodic. Similarly, singer Amelia Fletcher`s vocals are still cute and girlish, but she`s learned a lot more about the concept of pitch, and she`s well on her way to becoming one of the most influential singers on the `90s indie pop scene...This is an absolute classic of the indie pop genre, but later albums like Le Jardin de Heavenly and The Decline & Fall of Heavenly would be even better.
