"Heavenly vs. Satan" is the first album by British twee pop band Heavenly. It was released by Sarah Records in January 1991, as SARAH 603 (see Sarah Records catalogue). [ [http://www.twee.net/misc/release.aspx?key=heavenlyheavenlyvs TweeNet] ] No producer is listed in the sleevenotes, although Richard Haines is credited with engineering.

At this stage Heavenly was a four-piece (see the Heavenly article for a photograph); Cathy Rogers would join the band in the summer of 1991. [ [http://www.twee.net/bands/heavenly/history.html TweeNet] ]

The album was reissued by K Records in 2001 with a different cover [ [http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=271099 Example of original LP at eil.com] ] (shown here) and six bonus tracks: each side of their first and second Sarah singles; and their fourth single, originally issued by K. Cathy Rogers appears on some of the extra tracks, [ [http://www.krecs.com/Shop/product_info.php?products_id=136 K Online Store] ] and is credited with the other members in the booklet.

Allmusic describes "Heavenly vs. Satan" as "a remarkable maturation of Talulah Gosh's old manic guitar strum" although "considerably less sophisticated than Heavenly's later albums would become". [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wpfoxqt0ldke Allmusic] ]
