Long Blondes For Top Singles Set

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’

*’Giddy Stratospheres’

*’Polly’

*’Darts’

*’Appropriation (By Any Other Name)’

*’My Heart Is Out Of Bounds’

*’Separated By Motorways’

*’Big Infatuation’

*’Peterborough’
