The Clean - Vehicle (Expanded Edition)(CD)
Every once in a while a record comes along that it is so perfect it almost defies description.
The Clean's first full-length record Vehicle - falls into that bracket. Released in 1990, it is one of the catchiest, most insistent pop records from the Flying Nun discography. Melody Maker at the time described it as; so joyous, so completely unaffected and unpretentious its absurd. And that pretty much sums it up.
Recorded in London's Black Wing Studios, following the New Zealand trios re-union tour in the late 1980s, Vehicle is The Clean at their brilliant best. Right from the opening Drawing To A Whole to the beautiful Diamond Shine, these 13 tracks show a band coming back together in a celebration of noise.
Now available on an expanded CD, the re-issue also includes the bonus live EP In-A-Live a recording of the one-off 1989 London gig that led to the reformation.

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.
