Throughout their hugely acclaimed career they sustained an unparalleled artistic consistency which year by year matched the very best of their contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir three Beggars Banquet albums are now available individually on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years. The albums were recorded in what could be called the band's ‘London Years' - when they lived and recorded in the city. Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express (1986) and Tallulah (1987) are studio albums, while Fountains Of Youth, catches the group in imperious form at the Town and Country Club in May 1987. Many of the songs for 16 Lovers Lane (1988) were written at this time, before the band returned to Sydney to record the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Go-Betweens existed in and out of time - widespread fame may have alluded them, but the ability to make great records didn't. Their sound, songs, and image, have been a huge inspiration to generations of bands and fans alike. The Beggars Banquet albums lie at the heart of this appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"16 Lovers Lane was the band’s sixth album, and Record Collector noted that it’s “\u003cem\u003ealmost universally acknowledged as The Go-Betweens finest hour”\u003c\/em\u003e – and it’s been referred to as “the indie Rumours”. The ten beautiful songs on this album are all love songs and it’s been called a piece of “romantic artistry”. Legendary music critic Robert Christgau called it \u003cem\u003e“the straightest and catchiest bunch of love songs they’ve ever produced” \u003c\/em\u003eand the album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Forster described the album as, “\u003cem\u003ethe perfect combination between London melancholy and Sydney sunshine.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
