"The Heartbreak Thing" by The Mighty Lemon Drops

English alternative rock band The Mighty Lemon Drops released several albums in the late 80s and early 90s, but all the stars came into alignment for their 1989 LP entitled, "Laughter." It is astonishing that this fantastic record didn't make these guys a household name. 

"Laughter" was hotly anticipated given the modest success of the band's single "Inside Out" from their previous record, "World Without End." This catchy little song saw a lot of airplay on MTV's 120 Minutes and helped the band generate a small cult following. The first single, "Into The Heart Of Love," was a delicious confection made for radio, and showcased the pop sensibilities the band had embraced for this record. Unbelievably, the single went nowhere and the band quickly dissolved into obscurity.

"The Heartbreak Thing" is another terrific cut from this underrated record, a must for any collection!
