Cherry Red Records Pop Said

The Darling Buds
were part of a strange indie phenomena in the late 1980’s – guitar bands with
blonde female lead singers (along with The Primitives & Transvision Vamp).

Originally from
South Wales, the band released one self-financed single and were picked up by
indie label Native. After two further singles they were signed by Sony imprint
Epic and in the January 1989 released their debut long-player “Pop Said” which
reached No 23 in the National album charts.


The album contains
the four hit singles ‘Let’s Go Round There’, ‘Burst’, ‘Hit The Ground’ and
‘You’ve Got To Choose’.


Now reissued and
fully expanded by nine tracks to include all of the B-sides from the singles.
The accompanying booklet includes thoughts from the band today looking back at
the release, alongside sleeve images and effects from their personal archive.
