Hello & welcome to our eBay store. Double Vinyl LP including bonus 12"!

A compilation of one of Flying Nun’s most acclaimed and loved indie pop pioneers, The Bats. Originally released on cassette in 1987, Compiletely Bats gathers to- gether this great New Zealand band’s first three EPs – ‘By Night’ (1984), ‘And Here Is “Music for the Fireside’ (1985) and 1986’s ‘Made Up in Blue’. These early tracks show a group that has gone on to influence count- less bands around the world. And for good reason. From the opening ‘Made Up in Blue’ through to tracks like ‘Claudine’ the guitars jangle with both an optimism and a deeper melancholy that lurks just below the surface. While at times their offhand vocals and melodies tell tales of indecision and despair, The Bats also masters of a sound and feeling that can only be described as joy. Presented with unseen flyers, posters and emphera.
