about

Remembrances is a collection of 17 rare tracks by the seminal London post-punk quartet The Lucy Show. The album stretches from their first 7" single in 1983 to their last recording session in 1992. All 17 songs are being released on CD for the first time.

Among the songs found on Remembrances are both sides of their "Leonardo da Vinci" 7" (a John Peel favorite in 1983), a previously unreleased version of their #1 college radio stateside hit "The Price of Love," five demo tracks from their debut album …undone, a John Leckie-produced outtake from their sophomore album Mania, and two songs from a 1992 session that reunited singers Rob Vandeven and Mark Bandola with original guitarist Pete Barraclough.

Remembrances showcases the multifaceted elements of The Lucy Show's songwriting that made the band a #1 CMJ artist in the 1980s and a CASBY award nominee in Canada: from the dimly-lit material that turned on fans of Factory Records to the sharply-written lyrics and soaring choruses that evoked contemporaries like Echo & the Bunnymen and R.E.M., with whom The Lucy Show toured the UK.

Remembrances is issued on CD in a six-panel digipak with detailed liner notes about each recording.
