The Bluebells’ Sisters is a perfect snapshot of early ’80s “Sound of Young Scotland”: Glasgow indie pop with bittersweet spirit, sharp hooks, and heartfelt harmonies. Signing to the then-nascent London Records, and working with a procession of esteemed producers (including Elvis Costello who became a mentor and teacher to the band), The Bluebells enjoyed three UK hits in the 1980s (‘Cath’, ‘Young at Heart’ and ‘I’m Falling’) before touring widely throughout Europe and North America, developing their live sound and signing to Seymour Stein’s Sire Records in the U.S. A decade later in 1993 that ‘Young at Heart’ hit the U.K. No 1 spot following its use as a T.V. advert for Volkswagen. Fast forward to this decade The Bluebells have reformed with a flurry of shows across the past two years including a triumphant return to Glasgow at Barrowlands for Celtic Connects, and just announced for the Acoustic Stage for Glastonbury Festival 2025. This newly remastered and expanded edition collects the band’s entire London Records output - bonus tracks, non-album singles, extended versions and much more. Produced in consultation with the band, these new editions of Sisters have used the best audio sources available, uncovering a swathe of previously unreleased material, including the band’s 3 early radio sessions for BBC Radio One. A DVD also brings together restored versions of all their key promo videos and BBC performances including Top of The Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test.
