‚The Decline And Fall Of Heavenly‘ Gets Re-Issued On Vinyl. Skep Wax Records are re-issuing all four Heavenly albums over a two year period, and this is the third instalment, following on from ‚Heavenly vs Satan‘ and ‚Le Jardin De Heavenly‘.Altogether, the four albums will amount to a thorough collection of the band’s recorded output.
