The House Of Love - The House Of Love (30th Ann. Edition Reissue) (CD)
The House Of Love were one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands to grace Creation Records’ roster back in the late 1980s. Their eponymous debut was cited as one of the best albums of 1988 by music magazines and indie fans alike and remains a landmark work to this day.
This deluxe 3xCD edition offers the band’s complete Creation recordings from 1987-1988, together with a raft of bonus material.
The package features the original album on Disc 1 (inc. 2 x bonus tks) and all their Creation Records singles on Disc 2, from the original version of ‘Shine On’, ‘Real Animal’ and the US favourite ‘Christine’ (which reached #8 in the Modern Rock chart there) to their final single for the label, ‘Destroy The Heart’.
Disc 3 is devoted to 19 House Of Love demos, including two exclusive Guy Chadwick songs ‘Hold On Me’ and ‘Modern World’, which were never released! Also featured is the rare 7’ album freebie (two demos) and the ‘Flexidisc’ version of ‘Shine On’, together with Guy’s original demo of this song which eventually gave them a sizeable hit.
This 3CD Deluxe Edition is housed in a stylish Digipak with fresh sleeve-notes and rare images from the band’s photographer Suzie Gibbons.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
