    Another forgotten classic. The last three minutes of Looking Glass are my favourite closer to an album ever, but for what it's worth There She Goes and Timeless Melody are two absolutely brilliant pop songs to boot. The La's were no doubt destined for greater things, so it's a shame Lee Mavers lost his marbles shortly after (disowning this album before destroying the master tapes to the follow-up and then breaking up the band for... whatever reason). Bassist John Power more or less carried the torch with Cast, but let's not kid ourselves, it wasn't even a copy of a copy at that stage anymore.

      Editing … I had this on today funnily enough. I love 90's music, it's what I listen to 90% of the time.
