First time reissue. London Records remasters and reissues Voice of the Beehive's classic debut 1988 album, Let It Bee. In the mid-80s, armed with 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", and "Don't Call Me Baby" all chart hits and radio favorites. Reissued for the first time since its initial release. New liner notes by the band's very own Tracey Belland. The expanded double-CD version features previously unreleased tracks, live versions, and demos; includes "Cartoon City", a band favorite recently uncovered and remastered from the London Records archives.
