The Mighty Lemon Drops - Happy Head (40th Anniversary - Dinked Archive Edition No. 31)
Released 15th May 2026
First released in 1986 on Geoff Travis’ ‘Blue Guitar’ label, Happy Head is the debut album from Wolverhampton’s The Mighty Lemon Drops. Produced by Stephen Street, fresh from his work with The Smiths, the record shimmers with ringing guitars and a vibrant blend of psychedelia and post-punk energy.
Includes the singles ’The Other Side Of You’ and ‘My Biggest Thrill’, alongside the title track ‘Happy Head’ - a song which first appeared on C86 - NME’s now iconic compilation that helped define a generation of indie guitar music.
The album also features a re-recorded version of ‘Like An Angel’, the band’s breakthrough independent single. Newly remastered from the original tapes by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering to mark the album’s 40th anniversary.
Pressed on 140g black and red marbled vinyl, accompanied by a bonus black 7” featuring the early ‘Dreamworld’ versions of ‘Something Happens’ and ‘Now She’s Gone’.
Assembled with the assistance of the band who have provided a new introductory sleeve note.
Strictly limited to 500 units.
