January 13 street date. Love And Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass), and Kevin Haskins (drums). Formed in 1985 after the split of their band Bauhaus, their debut album "Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" is an unashamedly psychedelic adventure, far removed from the dark, angular soundscapes of their previous group. Love And Rockets provided the trio a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination, yet they still had to fight hard to avoid being branded "goth", citing Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan, and the later period Beatles as primary influences. This is a single black LP with a gatefold sleeve, remastered by Sean McGee at Abbey Road Studios.

The original press release for the album said that "the balance of light and dark, positive and negative, yin and yang, is a recurring theme". In 2020, NPR, referring to the album, stated that their "psychedelic train ride laid the foundation for alt-rock".
