"Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" is the debut studio album by the English rock band Love and Rockets, released on October 11, 1985, through Beggars Banquet Records. This album marked the band's transition from the post-punk sound of their previous project, Bauhaus, into a more alternative rock and psychedelic style.
The album features standout tracks like "If There's a Heaven Above," which was released as the first proper single on September 13, 1985, following the non-album single "Ball of Confusion" earlier that year. The singles helped establish the band’s presence in the music scene.
Upon release, Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven received positive reviews for its lush soundscapes and innovative blending of genres. It has since become a cult classic, recognized for its influence on the alternative rock scene.
In October 1999, the album was remastered and reissued in 2000, which included six bonus tracks, featuring four B-sides and two alternate mixes, along with new album cover artwork. This reissue helped introduce the album to a new generation of listeners while preserving its original charm.
