The La's - Breakloose: Lost La's 1984 - 86

Now remastered and with 7 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED BONUS TRACKS.

The mythology that has grown around The La’s has made them one of the most enigmatic bands of the last few decades.

The story began in a bleak mid-80’s Liverpool, with a chance meeting between two unemployed musicians, Lee Mavers and Mike Badger. Over the next two years they co- wrote material which appears here on Breakloose 1984-1986.

Influenced by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Captain Beefheart and described as ’Surreal Rock ’n’ Roll’ , the results are raw & spirited with classic song writing to the fore, defining a unique and creative time in the band’s history and pointing the way to future success.
