THE HOUSE OF LOVE were one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands to grace Creation Records back in the late 1980s.
Their eponymous debut album, which was cited as one of the best albums of 1988 by music magazines and indie fans alike, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year!
For the first time, the album is remastered from the original quarter-inch tapes, especially for this limited double vinyl edition in a gatefold sleeve.
Disc one replicates the original LP while Disc Two mops up all of the non-album tracks from various singles, from the original version of ‘Shine On’, ‘Real Animal’ and ‘Christine’ to their final single for the label, ‘Destroy The Heart’.
