Drawing from the hook-laden, ringing guitars of mid-60s British pop as well as the post-punk pop of the Smiths, the Las self-titled first album had a timeless, classic feel. It seemed like effortless music, yet that was not the case. From their inception in 1986, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Lee Mavers was a perfectionist with a nearly obsessive eye for detail. Consequently, the Las were never able to totally fulfill their promise.\r \r Mavers formed the group in Liverpool with bassist John Power, guitarist Paul Hemmings, and drummer John Timson. On the strength of their demo tapes, Go! Discs signed the band in 1987, releasing the single Way Out; it received good reviews, yet it wasnt a chart success. Similarly, the following years There She Goes received good press yet stalled on the charts. With a new lineup featuring bassist James Joyce, guitarist Cammy (born Peter James Camell), and Lees brother Neil on drums, the Las began recording their debut album that same year. The record didnt appear until 1990. Even though Mavers claimed it was rush released, the Steve Lillywhite-produced The Las received glowing reviews and strong sales; a re-released There She Goes entered the U.K. Top 20 and hit number 49 in America. For most of 1991, the band was on tour. At the end of the year, they went back to the studio to record their follow-up. This time, Mavers was in complete control and he took his time to perfect the album, re-recording tracks and rewriting songs. The Las disappeared without a trace from the pop music scene. Mavers and a reconstituted band resurfaced in the spring of 1995, playing a handful of supporting concerts that featured a couple of new songs.\r
