Although self-titled, this was actually the fourth LP from Love and Rockets, following after Earth Sun Moon. It was also their last for 5 years as they pursued various solo projects.

“So Alive” became their biggest hit in the US and made the album their best-selling here. It’s not my absolute favorite—that would be Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven—but I do still really like “No Big Deal” and “Motorcycle” as well as “So Alive.”

My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is an Electrosound Midwest pressing with the heart labels and a barcode on the rear cover.
