The Bluebells (EP)

The Bluebells is a five-song EP, or mini-album as it states on the record, by Scottish indie new wave band The Bluebells, released in 1983 by Sire Records. It was only released in the US and Canada to showcase singles released in the UK.

Reception
The album was reviewed in Billboard: "This young quintet makes its five-track debut a celebration of the pop virtues of '60s Merseybeat, with ringing guitars, harmonica and fresh vocal harmonies the order of the day. The thrust is on romantic rock, although the group also offers an earnest new version of [Dominic] Behan's "Patriots Game", a clear-eyed lament for the unceasing turmoil in Ireland."
