All four studio albums by jangly indie pop band Heavenly are being reissued. The band's second album Le Jardin de Heavenly will be availbable on May 12. The originals are still in high demand among the cognoscenti of superb melodic pop with an edge. Fabled DJ John Peel liked them a lot and they recorded two sessions for his radio show, both of which were released on 7" EPs last year. They disbanded in 1996 after tragedy had struck: drummer Mathew Fletcher took his own life.

Le Jardin de Heavenly is available for pre-order here. The re-issue includes Heavenly's third Sarah Records single (So Little Deserve b/w I'm Not Scared Of You) and a single released on K Records only (She Says b/w Escort Crash On Marston Street).

1. Starshy
2. Tool
3. Orange Corduroy Dress
4. Different Day
