The Bluebells Sisters is a perfect snapshot of early 1980s Sound of Young Scotland Glasgow indie pop with bittersweet spirit, sharp hooks, and heartfelt harmonies. Signing to the then-nascent London Records and working with a procession of esteemed producers (including Elvis Costello who became a mentor and teacher to the band), The Bluebells enjoyed three UK hits in the 1980s (Cath, Young At Heart and Im Falling) before touring widely throughout Europe and North America, developing their live sound and signing to Seymour Steins Sire Records in the US. A decade later, in 1993, Young At Heart hit the UK No 1 spot following its use as a TV advert for Volkswagen. Fast forward to this decade and The Bluebells have reformed with a flurry of shows across the past two years, including a triumphant return to Glasgow at Barrowlands for Celtic Connects, and they have just been announced for Glastonbury Festival 2025s Acoustic Stage. This newly remastered and expanded edition collects the bands entire London Records output - bonus tracks, non-album singles, extended versions and much more. Produced in consultation with the band, these new editions of Sisters have used the best audio sources available, uncovering a swathe of previously unreleased material, including the bands three early radio sessions for BBC Radio One. A DVD also brings together restored versions of all their key promo videos and BBC performances including Top Of The Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test. 3CD + DVD format features more than 65 tracks. Double vinyl features 26 tracks. Expanded artwork and new liner notes from Will Hodgkinson, 5,000-word essay by Barney Ashton-Bullock. Clamshell box with three CDs and a DVD in card wallets plus 36-pp booklet.CD1 - Sisters & Bonus Tracks Everybodys Somebodys Fool (Alternative Version) Young At Heart Im Falling Will She Always Be Waiting Some Sweet Day Cath (Longer Version) H.O.L.L.A.N.D.
