{"product_id":"1987","title":"1987","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate the 30th anniversary of The La's pivotal year, The Viper Label release The La’s \u003ci\u003e1987.\u003c\/i\u003e The band had already built up a fierce reputation during the two previous years taking Liverpool by storm but by the start of 1987 the band had a new line up and practice room- an old Stables next to Strawberry Fields, in which they could rehearse every day working on new songs and playing them later that same evening! It was an extremely creative time in which La's classics: \u003ci\u003eThere She Goes, Timeless Melody and Way Out\u003c\/i\u003e were written and the standard La’s set, starting with \u003ci\u003eSon of a Gun\u003c\/i\u003e and ending with \u003ci\u003eLooking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e was formulated - eventually securing them a major recording contract and exposing them to the wider World. Featured on this album are the legendary recordings from the Flying Picket (Trade Union Centre Venue- recorded on Pete Townsend old mixing desk) plus recordings made in Echo and the Bunnymen's studio at the behest of the late Pete De Freitas who supervised over the session with 'fifth' Bunnyman the late Jake Brockman, also featured are outtakes from the Stables rehearsals and ‘live’ rarities. This album is a must not just for La's completists but for fans the world over and reveals a fresh and fertile period when the band were still white hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Limited to 1000 Copies on 180 Gram Vinyl. 16 Tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - 25 Tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viper","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50417252106571,"sku":"1014841","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50417252270411,"sku":"1014842","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3f571e8b-07cb-4a2f-adc9-2bd73764e4b9_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726723531","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/1987","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
