Love And Rockets is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass), and Kevin Haskins (drums). They formed in 1985 after the first split of their band Bauhaus. Beggars Arkive continue the L&R reissue series with the Rick Rubin produced sixth album, "Sweet F.A.".

After a fire at Rubin's mansion, where the band were living and working, they lost all of their gear (including the burnt guitar on the cover), some of the demo recordings, and nearly their lives as well.

The resulting album was inspired by some of their earliest influences - The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Doors, Can. "Sweet F.A." spins tales of passion and loss, carried on a fluid, moody throb. Undulating, hypnotic rhythms twine around melancholy lyrics which examine life at a primal level, as ethereal electronic effects play counterpoint to earthquake reverberating guitars.

This is a double LP with gatefold sleeve, expanded to include 4 tracks previously unheard outside of the Love And Rockets box set.
