Lush announce 35th Anniversary Edition of “Gala”.

Lush’s Gala was the band’s debut compilation album, comprising their earliest releases — Scar (1989), Mad Love (1990), and Sweetness and Light (1990) — in reverse chronological order, plus two additional tracks (a cover version of ABBA’s “Hey Hey Helen” and the extended Robin Guthrie mix of Scar track “Scarlet”).
 
Originally released in 1990 as the band’s introduction to the US and Japanese markets, the compilation’s 35th anniversary is being celebrated with a 2025 reissue, to be released November 14.

Back in print for the first time since 1990.

The Gala 35th Anniversary Edition follows the 2023 remasters of Lush’s three studio albums — Spooky, Split, and Lovelife. Last year, Lush also partnered with the Criterion Channel on the release of A Far From Home Movie, a short film created by bassist Phil King and shared in memory of Chris Acland, which compiles candid Super8 footage taken by King during Lush's tours from 1992-1996.
