Part of the Optic Sevens 5.0 Reissue Series. Limited to 500 copies worldwide. Pressed on clear vinyl. Includes poster. Hard to find debut single originally released on Molesworth Records in 1988. The Charlottes formed in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire after drummer Simon Scott met guitarist Graham Garduilo in local band The Giant Polar Bears. They were tour buddies to Ride and most of the late 1980s shoegaze bands. Simon Scott was stolen by Slowdive after a gig at the White Horse in Hampstead in 1990, where the Boo Radleys opened the three-band bill. They split after releasing two albums. John Peel loved them and NME gave debut album Lovehappy 9 out of 10.
