Lush’s studio albums return to vinyl this August

Spin the shoegaze greats once again.

4AD are bringing Lush’s three studio albums, Spooky, Split and Lovelife, back to vinyl from August 11.

Unavailable on vinyl since the ’90s, these represses have been remastered from engineer and producer Kevin Vanbergen’s original tapes. Spooky and Split will keep their original artwork, while Lovelife uses the art from their 2016 boxset to keep 1996’s collective tracing paper sleeve exclusive to the original pressing.

One of the originators of shoegaze, Lush formed in 1987 by London teenagers Emma Anderson and Miki Berenyi, and were completed by drummer Chris Acland and bassist Steve Rippon, and later Phil King.

Spooky, Split and Lovelife are available to pre-order on black and limited edition clear vinyl ahead of their August 11 release.
