Once named by Rolling Stone as “the best unsigned band in the World” they went on to record four studio albums, ‘People’ (1988), ‘Home' (1990), ‘Songs From The Rain’ (1993) and ‘Born’ (1998) with London Records which are all featured here along with many single versions, rare B-sides, and live versions, plus an entire disc of previously unreleased demo versions sourced from the London Records tape archives all offering fans a deep dive into the band's creative journey from over the years. From their chart-topping debut to their later, introspective works, Hothouse Flowers consistently pushed the boundaries, blending rock, folk, and soul with Irish roots. This collection not only captures their biggest moments but also unveils hidden gems. The band’s first hit single, ‘Don’t Go', released in 1988, remains one of their most iconic tracks, capturing the raw energy and emotion that propelled them into the global spotlight. Following the success of their debut album, the band continued to deliver chart-topping hits. ‘Give It Up’, from their sophomore album ‘Home’, exemplifies their ability to craft uplifting anthems, while ‘I Can See Clearly Now’, a vibrant cover of Johnny Nash’s classic, became a fan favourite, highlighting their versatility and ability to reinterpret timeless songs. This Hothouse Flowers’ box set is a loving tribute to a band whose music transcends time and genres. Whether you are reliving cherished memories or discovering their magic for the first time, this collection is an essential addition to any music library.
