Originally issued on CD in 2010, The Very Very Best Of Crowded House is set to make its long-awaited vinyl debut on 12 July through Capitol Records/Universal Music.

Due for release in a glorious gatefold sleeve including notes & printed inner bags, The Very Very Best Of Crowded House has been compiled & cut from original analogue master tapes at Londons legendary Abbey Road Studios to 2 x 180-gram Heavyweight Black vinyl LPs.

Also released, a special Limited Edition Orange Vinyl version is available at key physical retailers across the Globe, making for an essential compendium for both committed fans and first timers.

Boasting 19 career-spanning tracks, the collection documents Crowded Houses legend-enshrining period with Capitol Records/EMI which began with their self-titled 1986 debut and concluded with their 2007 reunion album, Time On Earth. The tracklist features all the celebrated antipodean outfits signature hits (Dont Dream Its Over, Better Be Home Soon, Weather With You, Fall At Your Feet, Distant Sun) in addition to Instinct and Not The Girl You Think You Are from the 1996 compilation, Recurring Dream, and Dont Stop Now and Pour Le Monde from the well-received Time On Earth.

The Very Very Best Of Crowded House was a Top 20 hit in both Australia and New Zealand on its initial release in 2010 and it attracted considerable international acclaim, returning to the Australian ARIA Top 5 in 2016 around their 30th Anniversary Encore performances on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Classic Rocks review remarked, its hard not to be wowed by this back catalogue of golden pop genius while the BBC declared, Crowded House have a catalogue that features so many gems that they should be held in the high regard primarily reserved for acts that came before them, the likes of The Beatles and the [Rolling] Stones.

First formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985, Crowded Houses original line-up featured New Zealand native Neil Finn (vocals, guitar and primary songwriter) along with Australian rhythm section, Nick Seymour (bass) and Paul Hester (drums). This core trio recorded 1986s multi-platinum-selling Crowded House and 1988s Temple Of Low Men, before being joined by Neil Finns brother Tim for 1991s Woodface and multi-instrumentalist Mark Hart for 1993s highly-regarded Together Alone.

Crowded House split after a high-profile and extremely emotional final show performed for an estimated 250,000 people outside Sydneys famous Opera House, on 24 November 1996, which was captured on the Farewell To The World DVD. Despite Paul Hesters tragic death in 2005, Finn and Seymour reformed the band in 2006 alongside Mark Hart and former Beck drummer Matt Sherrod, going on to record two further albums, Time On Earth and 2010s Intriguer. Crowded House were inducted into Australias ARIA Hall Of Fame in November 2016 and to date have sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide.
