Heavenly's second album was, like Heavenly vs Satan, originally an eight-song affair – this version includes both sides of each of the two singles they recorded around the same time, Our Love Is Heavenly and So Little Deserve. With Cathy Rogers having joined the band on backing vocals and keyboards, the sound is much more multi-dimensional than on their debut, with the fizzing guitars and galloping drums now wrapped in glorious harmonies. Heavenly's trademark wit is well to the fore on the hilarious C is the Heavenly Option – a problem-page questionnaire recast as a 3-minute popsong, with Beat Happening's Calvin Johnson guesting on vocals – but is never far away elsewhere, adding, for instance, a wry hint of melancholy realism to the sixties pop rush of Sort Of Mine ("Is this all that I want in my life – someone to say he's sort of mine?....").

Heavenly formed in 1989 from the ashes of legendary Oxford band Talulah Gosh, in which all four original members – Amelia Fletcher (vocals/guitar), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar), Rob Pursey (bass) and Mathew Fletcher (drums) – had played. Cathy Rogers joined later on keyboards/vocals. They released five singles and three albums on Sarah Records and then, after Sarah ended, a final album on Wiiija/K.
