The La's are one of the most influential bands of modern times, despite their modest output of one album and a handful of singles. Alongside the original album, there are six previously unreleased session recordings, including That'll Be The Day, the Buddy Holly cover they recorded for BBC2's The Late Show. The second disc gathers together material that tells the story of the lengthy and convoluted recording process that preceded the release of the album as the band moved from one producer to the next in search of an elusive sound that never quite materialised. Most of the material on CD2 has never been released before and includes the Mike Hedges sessions, the only producer that they recorded the whole album for.
