2021 restock. New enhanced, remastered vinyl edition of the long-deleted, much sought-after Pale Fountains compilation originally released in 1998, Longshot For Your Love, covering the band's early years from 1982 to 1984. Longshot For Your Love is a collection of rarities, radio sessions, and previously unreleased tracks by Liverpool's second best band ever, fronted by Michael Head ("Our greatest living songwriter" --NME). Seven cuts are released here for the first time ever including the superb John Peel and Old Grey Whistle Test BBC Sessions ('82/'83). The album comes with enhanced artwork, in a beautiful gatefold cover plus inner sleeve featuring lots of unseen band photos and extensive liner notes by former Pale Fountains manager, Patrick Moore.

Originally released on 7" in 1982 on Operation Twilight, this reissue uses the Benoît Hennebert cover art that was used for the Les Disques du Crépuscule 12" release. The songs on The Pale Fountains' debut single are equal to anything released by Postcard, Rough Trade, or the like at the time. Prime songwriting dressed up in carefree acoustically-minded pop. At the end of 1982, the group signed to Virgin and went on to release Pacific Street (1984) and ... From Across the Kitchen Table (1985). Michael Head later formed Shack in 1987 with his brother John. Color vinyl; Includes poster.
