Crowded House (40th Anniversary)
With their 1986 self-titled debut, Crowded House carried forward the melodic invention and personality of the New Wave era while shaping it into a warmer, more refined pop-rock sensibility for the decade ahead. Neil Finn, Paul Hester, and Nick Seymour delivered their songs with infectious charm, but it was Neil’s songwriting — packed with massive hooks and lyrical sophistication — that truly set them apart. No song captures this better than “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” a reflective ballad of hope that became their signature song and biggest hit around the world. Crowded House transcended the era that shaped it, becoming a timeless classic.
This 40th anniversary edition adds another album’s worth of rarities, including a handful now available on vinyl for the very first time.
Strictly limited to 2000 numbered copies on ember red and raincloud gray vinyl, exclusive to Capitol Record Club. 22” x 33” poster included.
