“To me, Honey Lingers is like a psychotic melodic patchwork of every single emotion we were having. It's retro, joyful, frustrating, snarky, and sad. It spits, cries, shags, and dances and that was what we felt like we were doing as we toured, did television, press and general promotion all over the globe.” Tracey Brynn, Voice of The Beehive. Reissued for the first time on vinyl since 1991, Voice of the Beehive’s Honey Lingers saw the US/UK band build further on their signature mix of jangly guitars, upbeat rhythms, and melodic pop hooks towards a glossier, more mainstream sound. Featuring three UK Top 40 singles, ‘Monsters and Angels,’ ‘I Think I Love You’ and ‘Perfect Place;’ the album reached Silver sales in the UK. This remastered and expanded 2CD edition features all the band’s many B-sides from the era, rare and unreleased remixes (including the 12” version of ‘Monsters and Angels’), and many unheard alternative and acoustic versions. There’s also previously unreleased tracks from the band live in concert, recorded at The Kentish Town & Country Club for BBC Radio One.

Fritz Wunderlich could be considered the James Dean of the singing world – a young, charismatic performer who suffered a tragic death at the height of his career and abilities, and whose posthumous reputation has grown beyond that which he was able to enjoy during his short life. Considered among the finest Mozartean tenors of his day, Wunderlich embraced a wide repertory that expanded to included the works of Strauss, Schubert, Bach, and Mahler, and he left behind many excellent recordings that have been the primary source of his legacy. Wunderlich (Friedrich Karl Otto) was born in Kusel, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

Fishmans made their major debut in 1991 during the band boom era as the first artist signed to "Virgin Japan". As a rock band influenced by reggae, rocksteady, and dub, they left behind numerous iconic songs. Among them, "Ikareta Baby" has become an anthem covered by countless artists, known and unknown, not only within the lovers' rock scene but also beyond. Though their activity ceased in 1999 following the passing of vocalist Shinji Sato, the band resumed performances in 2005 at the RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL, with drummer Kin-ichi Motegi taking on main vocal duties, alongside guest vocalists for occasional live events. This box set chronicles the band’s journey through sound. Under the direction of Kin-ichi Motegi, rare recordings from their early days, radio performances, unreleased live tracks, and demo tapes were meticulously archived over two years, digitized from cassette tapes, DATs, and multitrack tapes. The set includes in-depth commentary on every track, drawn from interviews with Motegi himself.
