Breakloose Freedom Song Son Of A Gun Clean Prophet Trees & Plants What Do You Do? Doledrum Get Down Over Feelin' Come In Come Out Way Out There She Goes Failure Timeless Melody I Can't Sleep Knock Me Down
The La's Live 1986-87 Manages To Capture The Band's Original Ethos And Attitude. Side One, Contains Liverpool ‘Live’ Recordings From 1986 When Mike Badger And Lee Mavers Shared Material And Vocal Duties. These Recordings Have A Skiffle Like Quality That Flew In The Face Of The Highly Produced Trends Dominating The Mid-Eighties And Can See The Band Defining & Developing It’s Sound. Side Two, Shows A Band That Had Evolved, Almost At Times Garage Rock Which Suited Certain Songs In A Better Way, Eventually Selling Out The Marquee Club.
This Album In Many Ways Illustrates The True Nature Of The La's From Its Original Inception To Its Eventual Place In The Hearts And Minds Of Music Lovers Everywhere. Pure Magic And History In The Making.
