Lush’s Gala was the band’s debut compilation album, comprising their earliest releases — Scar
(1989), Mad Love (1990), and Sweetness and Light (1990) — in reverse chronological order,
plus two additional tracks (a cover version of ABBA’s “Hey Hey Helen” and the extended Robin
Guthrie mix of Scar track “Scarlet”).
Originally released in 1990 as the band’s introduction to the US and Japanese markets, the com-
pilation’s 35th anniversary is being celebrated with a 2025 reissue with new remasters by Kevin
Vanbergen.
