producer: Tim Friese-Greene; John Fryer & Lush; Robin Guthrie
label: 4AD / Reprise Records - nationality: England, UK
Compilation album by Lush originally released by 4AD Records and produced by various producers: Tim Friese-Greene (tracks #1-3); John Fryer & Lush (#8-13); Robin Guthrie (#4-7, 14-15).
Tracks #1-3 have previously been released as the single "Sweetness and Light" (Oct. '90), produced by Tim Friese-Greene; tracks #4-7 are identical to the ep Mad Love (Feb. '90), produced by Robin Guthrie; tracks #8-13 were previously released as the Mini-album debut Scar (Oct. '89), produced by John Fryer; track #14 is a previously unreleased cover song, originally made by ABBA, and track #15 has previously only been released on the compilation album Gigantic! 2 - Nineteen for the Nineties featuring various artists and sold with an issue of the music magazine Melody Maker - these two tracks were also produced by Guthrie.
Imo, I've also found this particular album a strange and incoherent listen but knowing that these songs stem from various releases with individual (strong) producers, it's no really wonder it's such a varied release. It functions more as that of a musicial documentation.
