Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven is an album by Love and Rockets, released in 1985. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Haunted When The Minutes Drag”, on 9 lists with a best position of #24.
Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, the debut album from Love and Rockets, came out on Beggars Banquet on 11 October 1985, the first full statement from three Bauhaus veterans who regrouped after that band split in 1983. Daniel Ash sings and plays guitar and saxophone, David J handles bass and vocals, and Kevin Haskins drums and adds synthesizers, and they cut it at Woodbine Street Recording Studios.
The gloom of the old band hasn't vanished, but it's shot through with light: dreamy swirl, pop hooks and post-punk moodiness crowding into the same room. "Ball of Confusion" went out ahead of it as a non-album single in May, followed in September by "If There's a Heaven Above", and "Haunted When the Minutes Drag" became the song that lingered. A remastered reissue in 2000 added six bonus tracks and new cover art.
