BBC In Session
''BBC In Session'' is a compilation of four BBC sessions by the La's, containing the band's session appearances on radio shows hosted by Janice Long, Liz Kershaw, Bob Harris and Nicky Campbell. The songs were compiled from recording sessions starting September 2, 1987 with the last track being recorded October 7, 1990. The album was released on September 18, 2006 to small scale acclaim, being given generally favorable reviews from the outlets that ranked it. AllMusic makes the claim that this album could possibly be the closest example of the “rootsy, stripped back sound” that Lee Mavers was attempting to achieve on the La’s debut album, but this is disputed due to material from the La’s being in such short supply. Track listing Personnel The La's * Lee Mavers – lead vocals, guitar * John Power – bass, backing vocals * Paul Hemmings – guitar (tracks 1-4) * John Timson (credited as Timo Timson) – drums (tracks 1-4) * Iain Templeton – drums (tracks 5-8 ...

The La's
The La's were an English rock band from Liverpool, originally active from 1983 until 1992. Fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Lee Mavers, the group are best known for their hit single " There She Goes". The band was formed by Mike Badger in 1983 and Mavers joined the next year, although for most of the group's history, the frequently changing line-up revolved around the core duo of Lee Mavers (vocals, guitar) and John Power (bass, backing vocals) along with numerous other guitarists and drummers including Paul Hemmings, John "Timmo" Timson, Peter "Cammy" Cammell, Iain Templeton, John "Boo" Byrne, Chris Sharrock, Barry Sutton and Neil Mavers. After the departure of Badger in late 1986, the band signed to Go! Discs in 1987 and started recording their debut album. Following the release of singles " Way Out" (1987), "There She Goes" (1988) and " Timeless Melody" (1990) and having aborted several recording sessions with different producers, the band released their debut ...

Predating Britpop by four years, the band's self-titled album was named one of the 40 greatest one-album wonders by ''Rolling Stone'', with the magazine stating, "Whether about heroin or just unrequited love, the La's single 'There She Goes' off their self-titled debut has endured as a founding piece of Britpop's foundation." It was listed at number 22 on ''NME''s "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Lyrics and meaning The song contains no verses, only a single chorus repeated four times and a bridge.

The La's Albums
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pro ...
