self-titled album

Recognition, at least critically, came for the La’s in 1990 when the self-titled album, The La’s , was released. The album reached No. 30 in the UK charts and received a Silver certification, but the album did not fare as well overseas. The album only reached No. 196 on the Billboard 200 and to date has sold fewer than 50,000 copies in the U.S. The album included, among new material, re-recorded versions of all the previous singles, including a remixed version of “There She Goes” which was then re-released as a single. This time around, the song reached number 13 in the UK singles chart and remains the most visible and enduring of all the band’s songs. Additional singles from the album included the LP versions of “Timeless Melody” and “Feelin ‘ “. Both sold reasonably well, reaching chart placings around the top 40 . A short promotional tour proceeded, accompanied by television appearances on shows such as Top of the Pops .
