Long out of print, Echo & the Bunnymen are to reissue their first five albums plus their best of, Songs to Learn & Sing, on CD. Out on 5th September.

Echo & the Bunnymen is the fifth studio album from the band which was released in 1987 and produced the singles The Game, Lips Like Sugar and Bedbugs and Ballyhoo. They’d made more use of keyboards than their previous studio albums, which had been string-heavy and although the album contained hook-heavy tracks such as Lips Like Sugar, the guitars on tracks such as Lost and Found are more representative of the album as a whole.
