The Bangles - Sweetheart Of The Sun

Limited edition teal vinyl pressing

Features original album art including printed inner sleeve

Inspired by the book 'Girls Like Us' intertwining the stories of Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Carley Simon

The last (2011) record released by The Bangles — now a trio of Susanna Hoffs and Debbi & Vicki Peterson — is one of their best, a loving paean to ‘60s pop inspired in part by Sheila Weller's book Girls Like Us, which intertwines the stories of Laurel Canyon singersongwriters Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Carly Simon. You'll hear plenty of that Laurel Canyon vibe on this record from these three songwriters, as well as some nods to The Bangles' power pop past, all blessed with the vocal harmony arrangements that the group's fans treasure.

Produced by Matthew Sweet, Sweetheart of the Sun was out on vinyl for a heartbeat, with original copies costing a fortune; our Real Gone reissue — released with the full cooperation of the band-features the original album art  complete with inner sleeve. Limited edition teal vinyl pressing!
