''Love and Rockets'' is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Love and Rockets, released in 1989 on Beggar's Banquet. == Background == ''Love and Rockets'' dismissed ''Earth, Sun, Moon'' The album featured Love and Rockets' biggest hit, the Ash-penned "So Alive". The song was a surprising number 3 hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and stayed at number 1 for five weeks on the US Modern Rock chart. Because of the popularity of the single in the US, ''Love and Rockets'' became the band's best-selling album in America. After the release of the album, the band embarked on a long worldwide tour. Afterwards, instead of recording a new album and a follow-up single to "So Alive", J and Ash both focused on their solo careers, continuing in the directions represented on this album. They each released two solo albums in the break (with drummer Kevin Haskins working primarily with Ash) before returning as a band to record ''Hot Trip to Heaven'' in 1994. In 2002, the album was remastered and expanded into a double album. The bonus tracks featured a single remix, three b-sides, all five songs from the aborted ''Swing!'' EP, and a radio session. The ''Swing!'' project was to be an outlet for some of the band's stranger output, but the material was never released, except for "Bad Monkey", which ended up on the ''Glittering Darkness'' EP in 1996. "The Purest Blue" is a radical reworking of "Waiting for the Flood" from ''Earth, Sun, Moon'', and " * * * * (Jungle Law)" was later reworked as "Bad Monkey", recorded as part of the ''Swing!'' project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love and Rockets (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
