Combining classic '60s pop with the D.I.Y. ethos of punk Up For A Bit With The Pastels is the band's mysterious and exciting debut album. Originally released by Glass Records in 1987 this is an hugely influential album and a must have for fans of bands like Belle & Sebastian and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. Despite being hailed by the likes of Kurt Cobain and Sonic Youth, The Pastels seem to have been condemned to be a band's band forever: as one of their later album tracks says, an "unfair kind of fame."
