.......it took until its re-release on the third time of asking for it become more than a cult hit.
November 1988 was the first attempt. Having considered it had been lost in the crazy way record sales traditionally go in the run up to Xmas, Go-Discs tried again in January 1989.
Then the track was given the remix treatment by star-producer Steve Lillywhite and in October 1990 this version was the one that propelled The La's to a #13 hit:-
mp3 : The La's - There She Goes
mp3 : The La's - Freedom Song
Even after all these years, it still has the ability to sound fresh and fantastic.

Hey Vinyl Villain!
Spectacular!! I'm in love with you too.
I went to see Mark Radcliffe do his latest book launch thing last week. He got talking about this song. Apparently, yer La's man makes £250,000 pa on royalties for this. (Lord knows how much the over-advertised DFS sofa type people paid for the jingly bit?)
