The Mighty Lemon Drops announce career spanning boxset


The Mighty Lemon Drops announced a 5CD boxset.

The Mighty Lemon Drops - Inside Out is a career spanning boxset collecting their output from 1985 - 1990 (their Chrysalis/Blue Guitar era) and contains 97 tracks in all. The set includes three full albums - Happy Head, World Without End, and Laughter - plus non-album singles, b-sides, radio mixes, previously unreleased demos, and rare sessions. Much of this material has been out of print and/or difficult to find, especially in North America, so this boxset is exciting news for fans.

The Mighty Lemon Drops Inside Out - 1985 - 1990 arrives on November 25th and is available to pre-order here and view the tracklisting below.
