Lush Fresh Handmade Sound and Mark Constantine are proud to unveil 'Life's What You Make It', following from the acclaimed compilation albums 'Self Preservation Society' and 'Instant Replay'

This stunning vinyl triple album has once again been personally curated by Mark Constantine, co founder of Lush and passionate music fan.It features 30 brand new versions of songs originally recorded between 1981 to 1991, including some of the fnest pop, folk, rock and ballads of the time.

You'll fnd the familiar and the unfamiliar, unexpected collisions of styles, radical reworkings and faithful renditions, all in celebration of a musical golden era. Many of these tracks will have specifc associations for each of us, but collectively they formed the soundtrack to Mark's decade during Cosmetics to Go and the pre-Lush Cosmetics years: "What I remember from that time is working every hour God sent," he says. "We'd be waking up at 4am, switching on the boilers and mixing up product as fast as we could. And there'd always be music playing."

Compositions by artists as diverse as The Cure, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Kate Bush and Nirvana have been reinterpreted by a galaxy of established and rising stars including Teddy Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Jackie Oates, Marry Waterson, Stealing Sheep andHoneyfeet, many of which you'll found on Lush's bespoke Spa Treatment soundtracks.

The result is a magnifcently diverse, six-sided jewel of a record
