Callin' All

THE LA'S Callin' All (2010 UK 94-track 4-CD album set - Never before or since The La's has there been so much fascination and reverence for a band with so slender an output. Despite their one classic album, the La's are one of the most influential British bands of modern times. They wrote and recorded undeniable songs that are miniature masterpieces in emotion, economy and melodic weight. 'Callin' All' gathers together all of the band's remaining unreleased recordings, which are beingofficially released for the first time on one comprehensive set that captures the band's myriad attempts to capture the feeling that Lee Maver attempted to harness in their sound. CD 1 collects the handful of superb singles the band released, as well as other well loved favourites. CD 2 features the best of the many out-takes the band produced as they worked through one highly respected producer after another. CDs 3 & 4 give evidence of what a great live band The La's were and possibly are: the force that comes through in the capturing of two never heard before live concerts, at London's Town And Country Club in 1989 and at The Marquee in 1991, which help to explain why a band that only released one album over 20 years ago continues to fascinate. This definitive set is presented in a lavishly packaged hype-stickered hardback picture box with a 60 page booklet. The striking artwork has been designed by the band's original designer, Simon Ryan. Also included is a detailed essay by acclaimed journalist and author Will Hodgkinson as well as never seen before photos of the band by Paul Cox!)
