Description


A Classic lost Post-Punk era album- originally released on A&M Records in 1981 reissued by Caroline True Records. Life Is a Grand has become a word-of-mouth cult classic – a new-wave pop gem adored by those who’ve fallen for its many charms and which has so far eluded the algorithm.

Once described as “Syd Barrett produced by Brian Eno”, the album casts Henry Badowski as a singular songwriter with a very English sensibility, whose effervescent songs are full of dreamy wonder and droll humour. That this album has remained untouched since 1981, almost forgotten, has somehow preserved its innocence, and it sparkles with freshness and vitality today.
