The House Of Love - House Of Love

Facts • 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 line- up, 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.
