When Noel Gallagher asked Lee Mavers when The La’s second album was coming out, Mavers told him, “When I’m done with the first one.” The Liverpool band had already released its 1990 debut, the record that gave us “There She Goes.” So what was Mavers still chasing? Goran Obradović, author of The La’s Time: The Making of a Classic, joins me on Booked On Rock to get into the story.
We talk about what happened when Mavers called Johnny Marr about recording, why a cassette made during a rehearsal was one of the few recordings Mavers liked, and whether The La’s could have become the face of Britpop if they’d stayed together.
