A few years ago, the initial slew of singles by Sheffield guitar pop tarts The Long Blondes were among the finest 7" singles in recent times: sharp, catchy, and brewing over with witty insouciance.
Now the band are to release a compilation album of said tracks on October 20th, and by heck if it isn’t a reminder of how great they were back in the day. The tracklist runs as follows:
*’New Idols’
*’Long Blonde’
*’Autonomy Boy’
*’Giddy Stratospheres’
*’Polly’
*’Darts’
*’Appropriation (By Any Other Name)’
*’My Heart Is Out Of Bounds’
*’Lust In The Movies’
*’Separated By Motorways’
*’Big Infatuation’
*’Peterborough’
