Voice of the Beehive’s 1991 record “Honey Lingers” returns in a newly remastered edition, preserving the jangly guitars and melodic pop hooks that elevated the band into the Top 20. This release packs a spirited punch, carrying over the energetic vibe that once led to three UK Top 40 singles, including the Don Was-produced cover of “I Think I Love You” and the fan-favorite “Monsters and Angels.”
Some regard “Honey Lingers” as a significant evolution from the earlier “Let It Bee,” capturing a whirlwind of moods and experiences. This edition distills that essence while highlighting key production talents like Don Was, Hugh Jones, and Alan Tarney. The reissue is pressed on pink vinyl and expanded into a 2CD deluxe format, which totals 39 tracks and introduces 19 previously unreleased recordings. Among these are alternate versions, long-sought B-sides, and a collaborative take on “Gimme Shelter” with Jimmy Somerville.
