house of love: christine

Part of The Optic Sevens 3.0 Reissue Series. Initially released in 1988 on Creation, Christine was the opening track from The House of Love's self-titled debut album and was the song that gave Guy Chadwick the idea for the sound of the group, what kind of musicians to look for and of course, the image. It reached #4 in the indie charts with Melody Maker describing it as "shimmering with reverbed romance... a heroic anthem to doomed and incandescent love." Includes all three tracks from the 12" and first time in picture sleeve for the 7". Clear vinyl; includes postcard and poster.
