The La's 1987

The La's is the only studio album by English rock band the La's, released on 1 October 1990 by Go! Discs. Four singles were released from the album; "Way Out" was originally released in November 1987, while "There She Goes" was released in 1988, and later became the band's biggest hit. "Timeless Melody" followed in September 1990, while "Feelin'" was released in February 1991 as the final single from the album. The former two were remixed for inclusion on The La's. Due to its 1960s-influenced sound, reminiscent of the British Invasion era in contrast to many other alternative acts of the early 1990s, the album attracted substantial critical attention. The La's is widely considered to be a precursor to the Britpop phenomenon of the mid-1990s. In 2013, NME ranked The La's at number 154 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Despite only being a moderate hit in the UK at the time of its release, reaching No. 30 in the UK Album Charts, The La's would prove a major reference point for many later acts, most notably the Britpop icons Oasis as well as later indie bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C.. A deluxe edition of The La's was released on 7 April 2008.
