The Clean’s first full‐length record – VEHICLE released in 1990, it
is one of the catchiest, most
insistent pop records from the Flying Nun discography. Melody Maker described it
as; “so joyous, so completely unaffected and unpretentious it’s absurd.”
And that pretty much sums it up.
Recorded in London’s Black Wing Studios, following the New Zealand trio’s reunion tour in the late 1980s, VEHICLE is The Clean at their brilliant best. Right from the opening ‘Drawing To A Whole’ to the beautiful ‘Diamond Shine’, these 13 tracks show a band back together in a celebration of noise.
Now available again on Flying Nun Records on double CD, the reissue also includes the bonus live EP IN‐A‐LIVE: a recording of the one‐off 1989 London gig that led to the reformation.
Presented in a gatefold set that includes not just that great piece of cover art (by guitarist David Kilgour), but a full colour booklet with liner notes from the band, photos, posters and a pull out IN‐ALIVE 12" sleeve.
