Lush - Gala (35th Anniversary)

Lush's Gala was the band's debut compilation album, comprising their earliest releases - Scar (1989), Mad Love (1990), and Sweetness and Light (1990) - in reverse chronological order, plus two additional tracks (a cover version of ABBA's "Hey Hey Helen" and the extended Robin Guthrie mix of Scar track "Scarlet").

Originally released in 1990 as the band's introduction to the US and Japanese markets, the compilation's 35th anniversary is being celebrated with a 2025 reissue.

Back in print for the first time since 1990, both the standard and deluxe editions are rounded out with 2025 Kevin Vanbergen remasters of the original tracklisting, deluxe edition artwork designed by Chris Bigg featuring original artwork by v23 (Vaughan Oliver and Chris Bigg).

This vinyl edition was produced by 4AD in 2025.
