Flying Nun are pleased to announce that they will be releasing Still Bewitched, a double LP and CD reissue of 1980s New Zealand band Look Blue Go Purple, due out on 5 May. The compilation comprises their three EPs, Bewitched (1985), LBGPEP2 (1986) and This is This (1987), along with previously unreleased live tracks.

Look Blue Go Purple comprised Canadian-born bass player, Kathy Bull (now Francisca Griffin) and keyboard player and vocalist, Norma O’Malley, who were both in the band Permanent Tourists with Martyn Bull (The Elevators, The Chills). Inspired by British bands such as The Slits and The Raincoats and wanting to play with other women, they drafted guitarists Denise Roughan and Kath Webster, and drummer Lesley Paris. Whilst the quintet certainly had the distinctive jangly, gently psychedelic, lo-fi Flying Nun sound, the combined vocals of Roughan, Webster and O'Malley found their own striking synthesis that made them stand out from other groups of the time.
