The House Of Love / Debut album gets 3CD release

The critically acclaimed 1988 eponymous debut from British indie band The House Of Love will be reissued in November as in three-disc deluxe edition. 

Cherry Red Records have put together a package that combines the original album with a second disc crammed full of non-album singles, B-sides and rarities; along with a further disc of 19 previously unissued demo recordings (including a Guy Chadwick solo demo of Shine On).

Shine On (Demo Version) and Christine (Demo Version) append the album on disc one, having been originally available only on a bonus 7″ single that was a freebie with the first 3000 copies of the record. Similarly, another rarity in the form of Shine On (Fuck Version) – given away via flexidisc to House Of Love gig goers at the time – makes an appearance on disc two.

Apart from the demos of the third disc (all from cassette) and the vinyl described above, all other recordings are remastered from original tapes. This set will come as a Digipak.

  2. Cherry Red did a good job with the first House Of Love album. I’d be delighted if they could tackle the second one – known as Fontana or The Butterfly Album. You’d need three CDs and this is what I think should be included.

    Disc 1: The House Of Love (1990)
    01 Hannah
    02 Shine On
    03 Beatles And The Stones
    04 Shake And Crawl
    05 Hedonist
    06 I Don’t Know Why I Love You
    07 Never
    08 Someone’s Got To Love You
    09 In A Room
    10 Blind
    11 32nd Floor
    12 Se Dest

    Disc 2: A Spy In The House Of Love (1990)
    01 Safe
    02 Marble
    03 D Song 89
    04 Scratched Inside
    05 Phone
    06 Cut The Fool Down
    07 Ray
    08 Love II
    09 Baby Teen
    10 Love III
    11 Soft As Fire
    12 Love IV
    13 No Fire
    14 Love V

    Disc 3: Single Mixes and B-Sides
    01 Never (12″ Version)
    02 Safe (Original Mix)
    03 I Don’t Know Why I Love You (7″ Version)
    04 Secrets
    05 I Can’t Stand It
    06 Clothes
    07 The Spy
    08 Shine On (Full Re-recorded Version)
    09 No Fire (Original Mix)
    10 Allergy
    11 Rosalyn
    12 Rouge
    13 Scratched Inside (Alternate Mix)
    14 Beatles And The Stones (Remix)
    15 Phone (Acoustic)
    16 Marble (Original Mix)
    17 Glorify Me
    18 Baby Teen (Radio Edit)

  5. In my opinion, the smaller labels are doing really well with reissues. The Demon/Edsel stuff is great and priced right. Domino’s Orange Juice complete was really nice. Keep it up! I trust Cherry Red will do this one right!
