Product description


Hindsight 1980-1987 is an essential anthology and the perfect introduction to The Church, capturing the formative years and musical evolution of the iconic Australian band. Originally released in July 1988, this double album brings together select tracks from their early studio albums, along with rare B-sides and singles, preserving the band's rich legacy.


The compilation showcases The Church's signature blend of jangly guitars, atmospheric soundscapes, and introspective lyrics, all anchored by Steve Kilbey's distinctive voice.
Now, in response to enduring fan demand, Hindsight 1980-1987 is being reissued on high-quality 180gsm vinyl, featuring a unique black and silver splatter effect.
