The Verlaines 1985 debut album, Hallelujah - All the Way Home defined both the Dunedin bands style and the Flying Nun sound. Grounded in songwriter Graeme Downes innate and inventive sense of melody, at the heart of these 8 songs are magnificent tales of drunkards and romantics all punctuated by guitar blasts and instrumental flourishes. Re-issued in its original gatefold format along with a replica album release poster from the time.
