Recorded at Rockfield Studios near Monmouth in Wales, ''Heaven Up Here'' was co-produced by Hugh Jones and the band. A generally well received album by fans in the United Kingdom and by critics, ''Heaven Up Here'' won the "Best Dressed LP" and "Best Album" awards at the 1981 NME Awards. The album has also been listed at number 471 in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
==Background and recording==
After the public and press interest garnered from Echo & the Bunnymen's debut album, ''Crocodiles'', the band released the ''Shine So Hard'' EP which maintained their profile. Work then soon began on their second album, ''Heaven Up Here''. Following musical differences between the band and ''Crocodiles'' producers Bill Drummond and David Balfe, Hugh Jones was brought in to produce ''Heaven Up Here''.〔Bell, p. 4〕 Jones had previously engineered ''Crocodiles'' and co-produced ''Shine So Hard'' with Drummond. Jones would later go on to produce the band's 2005 album ''Siberia''. The band were also given an additional producer credit. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios near Monmouth in Wales during March 1981.
In the liner notes to the 2003 remastered version of the album, lead singer Ian McCulloch said that he constantly had the American rock band The Velvet Underground's song "What Goes On" in the back of his mind. He also stated that the band wanted to record a soul album.〔 In the same liner notes, bassist Les Pattinson said that the band was often lazy and hence had hired rehearsal space at the Ministry in Liverpool. He said this made them work harder and develop "language" in the rhythm.〔Bell, p. 5〕 According to guitarist Will Sergeant, McCulloch considers ''Heaven Up Here'' to be Sergeant's album because he was bossy and a control freak during the recording.〔Bell, p. 7〕
