Eureka is the second album by the English band the Bible, released in 1988.[1][2] "Crystal Palace" and "Honey Be Good" were released as singles.[3] The album peaked at No. 71 on the Official Albums Chart.[4] The band supported Eureka with a European tour.[5]
The Bible dealt with contractual issues after the release of their debut album and also abandoned their initial attempt at a second album.[3][6] Recorded in early 1988 in London, Eureka was produced by Steve Earle, the first time he had taken an outside production assignment; he also played on "November Brides" and "Red Hollywood".[7][8][9] The Bible expanded from the duo of Boo Hewerdine and Tony Shepherd to include four additional members.[10] "Red Hollywood" is about the end of a romantic relationship.[11] "November Brides" concerns a woman who longs to get married.[12]
