'The Sundays' attracted my attention at the time of this release partly because the jangly guitar sound reminded me of 'The Smiths' and also because Harriet Wheeler had such a nice voice. They released this single "Here's Where The Story Ends" from their debut album 'Reading, Writing and Arithmetic' in 1990. They have only released a couple of albums since the debut, as Harriet Wheeler and her partner, guitarist and founding member David Gavurin, are focusing more on raising their children.... they have built a home studio so we haven't heard the last from them at all. They actually had their biggest hit a couple of years after this with "Summertime" but my favourite is definitely "Here's Where The Story Ends" which brings all their skills to the fore... great vocal range, but more importantly, how sweet the vocals are... great guitar playing and intelligent songwriting. This is the standout track from a seriously good album. If you have this album somewhere in your collection... get it out now and rediscover it... more than 20 years on, it hasn't lost any of it's charm.
