This is the first reissue of the album to feature all the bonus tracks (last time taking up 2/3rds of the package) as digital downloads free with purchase. The vinyl release is the first ever reissue of the LP in its original form.

'Underwater Moonlight' has long been considered a classic record, "Big Star and us were the rickety bridge between the Byrds and REM", says former Soft Boys’ main man Robyn Hitchcock.

Additionally, the first, and rarely reissued Soft Boy’s album, 'A Can of Bees' is also being released with similar bonus downloads. "A red-hot poker up the arse of rock music" was how Julian Cope once described this album. The vinyl version of Bees is the first ever reissue of the LP in any form.

The Soft Boys formed in 1976, dissolved in 1981, and reformed for a 21st anniversary tour and reunion album in 2001. Guitarist Kimberley Rew wrote the perennial summer anthem 'Walking on Sunshine' for his post SB's band Katrina and The Waves and his songs have been covered by Celine Dion and The Bangles, among others. Robyn Hitchcock continues to perform around the world, and his most recent record Propeller Time (with the Venus 3) is available on Sartorial Records. Goodnight Oslo, also with the Venus 3, is his latest release on Yep Roc Records. He has also appeared in several Jonathan Demme movies, most recently Rachel Getting Married.
