TALULAH GOSH / WAS IT JUST A DREAM ? / 2LP /

(UK / DAMAGED GOODS / DAMGOOD364LP / MEDIA:EX / JACKET:EX)

レジェンド・オブ・アノラック/TWEEポップ！デモ音源含む全29曲を収録した決定的二枚組！
53RD & 3RD〜SARAHを象徴するバンドであり、後にはHEAVENLY、MARINE RESEARCH、TENDER TRAP他、数々のユニットで活躍するアメリア・フレッチャー率いる伝説的バンド。デモ音源を含む全29曲を収録した決定的コンピレーション盤です。バンド名を冠した「TALULAH GOSH」を筆頭に、冒頭のギター・ストロークで発狂・歓喜する人も多いであろう、パパパ・コーラス入りのバースト・チューン「STEAMING TRAIN」に「THE GIRL WITH THE STRAWBERRY HAIR」、THE SOFTIESもカヴァーした「I CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION (THANK GOD)」、「BRINGING UP BABY」や「BEATNIK BOY」、「JUST A DREAM」に「MY BEST FRIEND」、RAZORCUTSとのスプリット7インチ収録曲「I TOLD YOU SO」などなど、素晴らしい楽曲の連続！初期HEAVENLYや後の活動に通じるサウンド/スタイルは既に確立されていますが、このスカスカ具合・パンキッシュさと魔法のような愛らしさはここでしか味わえません！必携！
