"To me, Honey Lingers is like a psychotic melodic patchwork of every single emotion we were having. It's retro, joyful, frustrating, snarky, and sad. It spits, cries, shags, and dances and that was what we felt like we were doing as we toured, did television, press and general promotion all over the globe." Tracey Brynn, Voice of The Beehive. Reissued for the first time on vinyl since 1991, Voice of the Beehive's Honey Lingers saw the US/UK band build further on their signature mix of jangly guitars, upbeat rhythms, and melodic pop hooks towards a glossier, more mainstream sound. Featuring three UK Top 40 singles, 'Monsters and Angels,' 'I Think I Love You' and 'Perfect Place;' the album reached Silver sales in the UK. This edition is freshly remastered with new liner notes from vocalist Tracey Brynn, housed in a gatefold sleeve and pressed on limited edition pink vinyl. Let It Bee A remastered gatefold vinyl edition in transparent honey yellow, featuring new sleeve notes by the bands very own Tracey Belland. In the mid 80s, armed with a only a suitcase of songs, Californian sisters Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland escaped the American music industry in search of the vibrant British indie scene, finding recently split Madness band member Daniel 'Woody' Woodgate, who together with guitarist Mike Jones and bassist Martin Brett would form 'the Beehive Boys'. The powerful live chops of the Beehive Boys, combined with the harmonies, energy and stage presence of Tracey and Melissa, made Voice of the Beehive indie darlings and one of the hottest live acts on the London scene. Signing with London Records, they recorded 'Let It Bee', its sunny exterior of sparkling indie guitars, energetic rhythms matched with lyrics and melodies that revealed both hope and an occasionally cutting cynicism. On its release 'Let It Bee' was a UK Top 15 album, its singles 'I Say Nothing', 'I Walk The Earth' & 'Don't Call Me Baby' all chart hits and radio favourites. Re-issued for the first time since its initial release, all orders of the vinyl edition come with a print signed by all members of the band. Bonus CD 'Monsters and Angels' was the first taste of Voice of The Beehive's Honey Lingers. A bittersweet alt-pop track, it reflected the band's shift towards a more expansive, ambitious sound. The single was their 4th UK Top 40, also peaking at #8 on the US Modern Rock radio chart. This exclusive bonus CD single features the 2025 remaster of the single, plus five tracks unavailable anywhere else: the original demo of 'Monsters and Angels,' two mixes of tracks by PWL's production duo Harding & Curnow ('Monsters and Angels,' 'Say It'), the original version of 'Little Gods' and a second alternative mix of 'Perfect Place' by Dave Bascombe. Official store exclusive, limited to 300 numbered copies, available with any Honey Lingers music product.
