Among the great British bands celebrated during National Album Day, cult Liverpudlian act The La's are in a league of their own: unlike all the other groups they share shelf space with this year, they are the sole group to have released only one album. Issued in October 1990, their self-titled debut has been hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time by NME, and was also placed at No.13 in Rolling Stone's 2021 run-down of the 40 greatest one-album wonders. Selling 300,000 copies in the US and 500,000 copies at home, The La's has become an indie touchstone. No shortage of that reputation rests on the single 'There She Goes', a reissue of which hit No.13 in the UK, on its way towards racking up double-platinum sales figures. With their album now making a return on coke-bottle green wax, The La's have more than secured their place in British music history.
