The La's: The La's 1990 (2 CD Deluxe Edition 2008) (OUT OF PRINT) - URBANASPIRINES

Here’s another beauty from Kostas over at Urbanaspirines. Always ready to explore the unusual and the unheard of ( yes even British albums and bands too) but this is a classic from my home town

Read up on them here and enjoy the classic out of print deluxe edition double version of their first album

N.B. I recall with dismay the first time reading that their hit single “There She Goes’ was about heroin, it ISN’T! (do your own homework and you will discover I am right. It is and was a love song) *

here . . . . . . .

“ The La's were an English rock band from Liverpool, originally active from 1983 until 1992. Fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Lee Mavers, the group are best known for their hit single "There She Goes". The band was formed by Mike Badger in 1983 and Mavers joined the next year, although for most of the group's history, the frequently changing line-up revolved around the core duo of Lee Mavers (vocals, guitar) and John Power (bass, backing vocals) along with numerous other guitarists and drummers including Paul Hemmings, John "Timmo" Timson, Peter "Cammy" Cammell, Iain Templeton, John "Boo" Byrne, Chris Sharrock, Barry Sutton and Neil Mavers. “ Urbanaspirines

*In an interview with Les Inrockuptibles, Mavers admits to trying heroin in 1990. The song therefore predated his experience as it was originally released in 1988. Mavers himself has also emphatically denied that the song is about heroin.
