THE COMPLETE STORY OF TALULAH GOSH! 29 TRACKS! DOUBLE GATEFOLD LP! FIRST TIME AVAILABLE SINCE THE 90'S! SLEEVE NOTES / NEW INTERVIEW BY EVERETT TRUE (THE LEGEND!)! TALULAH GOSH were a Indiepop group from Oxford and one of the leading bands of the twee pop movement/C86, taking their name from the headline of an NME interview with Clare Grogan.

They supposedly formed when Amelia Fletcher and Elizabeth Price, both wearing PASTELS badges, met at a club in Oxford.

Formed in 1986, their original line-up comprised Amelia Fletcher (vocals, guitar), her younger brother Mathew Fletcher (drums), Peter Momtchiloff (lead guitar), Rob Pursey (bass) and Elizabeth Price (vocals).

Rob left early on, to be replaced by Chris Scott. Elizabeth left in 1987 to be replaced by Eithne Farry.

They called it a day in late 1988 with Amelia, Matthew and Peter reappearing soon after as HEAVENLY.

Amelia and Rob are currently in TENDER TRAP and released the 2012 album "10 Songs about Girls", Peter Momtchiloff is currently in the WOULD-BE-GOODS and THE HOT HOOVES.

Eithne Farry is an author and likes a glass of sherry. Elizabeth Price recently won the 2012 Turner Prize for her video installation "The Woolworths Chior of 1979".

This compilation brings together all of their recorded output, plus the two BBC sessions and the four tracks which appeared on the demos EP in 2011.

Sleeve notes and an interview with the band by music journalist Everett True (also known as THE LEGEND) feature in the 24 page booklet.
