“Lips Like Sugar (12" Mix)” by Echo & the Bunnymen, featured on the 1987 Just Say Yes sampler from Sire Records.
Featured on the 1987 Just Say Yes sampler from Sire Records, this 12" mix of “Lips Like Sugar” showcases Echo & the Bunnymen at their most expansive and accessible.
Originally released in 1987, the track marked a slightly more polished, melodic direction for the band, blending their signature post-punk atmosphere with a brighter, more radio-friendly sheen. The 12" mix stretches that mood further—letting the shimmering guitars, driving rhythm, and Ian McCulloch’s unmistakable vocals breathe in a wider, more immersive space.
Within the context of Just Say Yes, the song stands as a perfect bridge between alternative rock and the evolving electronic/new wave landscape of the late 80s—one of those tracks that could pull listeners deeper into the scene.
Whether you remember this from the original sampler or you’re discovering it for the first time, it remains a defining moment of that era’s sound.
