Description
* Signed by Creation Records in late 1986, THE HOUSE OF LOVE would become one of the most successful, critically acclaimed bands to grace the label. * Their eponymous debut album was cited as one of the best albums of 1988 by music magazines and Indie fans alike. To promote the band in Germany in 1987, Creation teamed up with Rough Trade Distribution to release this collection of The House Of Love's first two singles, 'Shine On' and 'Real Animal' and B-sides, plus an exclusive track. Somewhat confusingly, this collection was also self-titled! Never re-issued previously on vinyl in its own right- and now with an additional B-side 'The Hill'. The cover photo depicted the original five-piece lineup, singer/songwriter Guy Chadwick with guitarist Terry Bickers, bassist Chris Groothuizen, drummer Pete Evans and third guitarist Andrea Heukamp, who had left by the time of their debut album proper. -
