Lovey – 30th Anniversary Edition [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Remastered reissue of The Lemonheads ‘Lovey’ housed in a bookback sleeve with expanded liner notes and unseen photos – this is the definitive document of Dando’s first steps towards the mainstream. Disc 2 is ‘Triple J Live at the Wireless’, an unearthed radio session taken from their 1991 trip to Australia to promote the album The major label debut for Evan Dando’s Lemonheads from 1990, following three “ramshackle punk” (©Select magazine) albums for Taang! Pivoted on a more approachable set of sweet melodies still rife with punky spirit. A light and dark album, polished in the arrangements, nodding to the excess of American culture (Manson and Gummi Bears), hectoring Reagan’s drug laws (‘Lil’ Seed’), riffing on everyday life. “Like Hüsker Dü when they were at their most ferocious or REM when they were at their most Byrdsian hypnotic.” NME Disc One The Lemonheads - Lovey A1 Ballarat A2 Half The Time A3 Year of the Cat A4 Ride with Me A5 Lil Seed B6 Stove B7 Come Downstairs B8 Left for Dead B9 Brass Buttons B10 (The) Door B11 Untitled Disc Two The Lemonheads - Live at the Wireless C1 Come Back D.A.
