Spring Hill Fair, the Go-Betweens' third album, came out in the UK on Sire on 27 September 1984, and it's the Brisbane band filling out their sound without losing that bookish, bittersweet jangle. They cut it in France, at Studio Miraval in Le Val, through a rain-soaked May, and the lineup had grown: Robert Vickers had joined on bass, which freed Grant McLennan to play lead guitar alongside Robert Forster, with Lindy Morrison on drums.
Forster and McLennan, the band's two singer-songwriters, share the spotlight as ever, and "Bachelor Kisses" is the tender, aching heart of the thing. Following Before Hollywood, it was released with ten songs; the 2002 CD reissue on Circus doubled that with ten extra tracks on a bonus disc, plus a video for "Bachelor Kisses".
