Originally released in 1986, Discover captures Gene Loves Jezebel at a watershed moment, propelling the band to an international audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 40th Anniversary expanded edition has been remastered and expanded across a double LP with updated artwork. The second LP contains Glad to Be Alive, a live recording from a 1986 Nottingham show, pressed to vinyl here for the first time since its original release. Capturing the band in full flight, it offers a raw counterpoint to the studio record. Louder and unrestrained, demonstrating the energy that drove their rapid ascent during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking about Discover, Jay Aston of the band says: \"This is the album where it all came together for me as a singer and a songwriter. I discovered myself.\" Michael Aston offers: \"Feelings with no ceilings, and the thinnest things are a joy forever.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin brothers Jay Aston and Michael Aston began making music together in 1980, forming their band initially called Slav Arian with guitarist Ian Hudson and a drum machine. Raised in Porthcawl, South Wales, the Astons relocated to London in 1981, where the project evolved into Gene Loves Jezebel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Discover, their sound fully comes into focus, balancing the darker textures of their early work with a sharper, more melodic edge. Built around driving rhythms, chiming guitars and a more expansive sound, the album captured Gene Loves Jezebel hitting their stride with a sound that travelled further than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its center is \"Desire (Come and Get It),\" the band's most recognizable single. A track that distilled their songwriting into something both urgent and accessible, without losing the edge that defined their early work. Around it, the album moves between taut, rhythm-driven tracks and more expansive, grandiose moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLP 1 - Discover\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSide A\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver The Rooftops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA White Horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait And See\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSide B\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeyond Doubt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetest Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaid Of Sker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand New Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLP 2 - Glad To Be Alive (Live in Nottingham)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSide C\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp Stairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver The Rooftops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rhino Plasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorth Waiting For\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSide D\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmigrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrittle Punches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop Tarantula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeggars Banquet Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Experience Vinyl Preorder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51829238595869,"sku":"BQT2724.1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2236\/3463\/files\/10_f1806be6-a648-4a84-be13-443b022f38d8.jpg?v=1780512683","url":"https:\/\/experiencevinyl.com\/products\/gene-loves-jezebel-discover-glad-to-be-alive-40th-anniversary-edition-vinyl-lp","provider":"Experience Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
