In the early part of 1987, The La’s were attracting a large local following and one of those + who wanted to help the band was Pete De Freitas, the charismatic drummer from Echo & the Bunnymen. Produced by Pete and Jake Brockman (keyboardist in the Bunnymen) using borrowed equipment, this session was recorded over a period of 2 days in and was an important stage in the band’s career. All recorded ‘live’ without any overdubs, these Post Punk, Phil Spector sounding recordings are versions of songs that appeared on their debut album some years later.
