jhulud Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Love And Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). They formed in 1985 after the first split of their band Bauhaus. Love and Rockets provided a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination and influences. Named after the underground comic by the Hernandez brothers, the band made seven records over the course of thirteen years. ON DECEMBER 9TH we will release a webstore-only box set containing the band’s six original albums on colored vinyl + an exclusive slipmat. The Albums 1985-1996 boxset is limited to 1000 copies worldwide and is only be available on our webstore. They have all been remastered by Sean McGee at Abbey Road Studios. INCLUDES: Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven – dark cyan Express - red Earth, Sun, Moon – white Love And Rockets – black and white quad Hot Trip To Heaven – blue vinyl w/black marble + grey splatter, double LP Sweet F.A. – smoky marble, double LP + exclusive slipmat Love And Rockets → The Albums 1985-1996 Boxset (beggars.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice set but I wish they had done a nice history of the band / records in the set booklet over the slipmat.

jhulud Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Opened my copy. Nicely surprised that they're numbered. I got #425/1000. It's an excellet set for the price point and all that's included. The nerd in me would have been blown away of they had been signed by the band. I'm holding out hope that the rumors are true that this may be leading up to a L&R tour. If so, I will definitely travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tickets for last year, or 2020 that transferred to last year. Was a more solid(bigger) line up, but I feared it was going to be too much of a shit show and sold ours.

jhulud Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’m hoping that this is the first of more tour dates. If I had a greater disposable income, and less shit going on at home, I’d be heading out for Cruel World. But alas, not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
