The Bluebells’ Sisters is a perfect snapshot of early ’80s “Sound of Young Scotland”: Glasgow indie pop with bittersweet spirit, sharp hooks, and heartfelt harmonies. Signing to the then-nascent London Records, and working with a procession of esteemed producers (including Elvis Costello who became a mentor and teacher to the band), The Bluebells enjoyed three UK hits in the 1980s (‘Cath’, ‘Young at Heart’ and ‘I’m Falling’) before touring widely throughout Europe and North America, developing their live sound and signing to Seymour Stein’s Sire Records in the U.S.A decade later in 1993 that ‘Young at Heart’ hit the U.K. No 1 spot following its use as a T.V. advert for Volkswagen. Fast forward to this decade The Bluebells have reformed with a flurry of shows across the past two years including a triumphant return to Glasgow at Barrowlands for Celtic Connects, and just announced for the Acoustic Stage for Glastonbury Festival 2025.This new edition of Sisters has been remastered and produced in consultation with the band, using the best audio sources available, including non-album singles and B-sides, bonus tracks from the original cassette edition and new liner notes from Will Hodgkinson.Side A1.Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool (Alternative Version)2.Young At Heart3.I’m Falling4.Will She Always Be Waiting5.Some Sweet Day6.Cath7.H.O.L.L.A.N.D.Side B 1.Red Guitars2.Syracuse University3.Learn To Love4.The Patriot Game5.South Atlantic Way (Full)6.Aim In LifeSide C1.Forevermore2.Cath (Extended Version)3.All I Ever Said4.Fall From Grace5.Sugar Bridge6.Happy Birthday (Turn Gold)7.Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool (Original Album Version)Side D 1.Young At Heart (Extended Version)2.Tender Mercy3.All I Am (Is Loving You)4.The Ballad of Joe Hill5.Goodbye And Good Luck (BBC Session, 29th Nov ’81)6.Young At Heart (Club Remix ‘93)
