Formats include a remastered gatefold vinyl edition in transparent honey yellow, and an expanded double CD edition featuring previously unreleased tracks, live versions and demos. All formats feature new liner notes by the band™s very own Tracey Belland. In the mid 80s, armed with a only a suitcase of songs, Californian sisters Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland escaped the American music industry in search of the vibrant British indie scene, finding recently split Madness band member Daniel ˜Woody™ Woodgate, who together with guitarist Mike Jones and bassist Martin Brett would form ˜the Beehive Boys™. The powerful live chops of the Beehive Boys, combined with the harmonies, energy and stage presence of Tracey and Melissa, made Voice of the Beehive indie darlings and one of the hottest live acts on the London scene. Signing with London Records, they recorded ˜Let It Bee™, its sunny exterior of sparkling indie guitars, energetic rhythms matched with lyrics and melodies that revealed both hope and an occasionally cutting cynicism. On its release ˜Let It Bee™ was a UK Top 15 album, its singles ˜I Say Nothing™, ˜I Walk The Earth™ & ˜Don™t Call Me Baby™ all chart hits and radio favourites. Re-issued for the first time since its initial release. The expanded double CD version features ˜Cartoon City™, a band favourite recently uncovered and remastered from the London Records archives.
