The House of Love Live At ULU (7 October 1988)First ever live performance from the Creation Records era to be released by one of *the* break out UK indie bands of 1988. This celebratory London show coincided with end of year music press praise being heaped on their eponymous debut album (issued in May) and subsequent single Destroy The Heart (which would top John Peels festive 50 at the end of the year).
