The mythology that has grown around The La’s has made them one of the most enigmatic bands of the last few decades. The story began in a bleak mid-80’s Liverpool, with a chance meeting between two unemployed musicians, Lee Mavers and Mike Badger. Over the next two years they co-wrote material which appears here on ‘Breakloose’. Influenced by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Captain Beefheart and described as ‘Surreal Rock ‘n’ Roll’ , the results are raw & spirited with classic song writing to the fore, defining a unique and creative time in the band’s history and pointing the way to future success.
Features previously unreleased recordings + a 20 page booklet containing unseen photos/artwork + in depth liner notes.
