"Too Young to Love" is the debut single by The Big Pink. "Too Young to Love" was released with the double A-side track "Crystal Visions" on 7" vinyl on October 7, 2008, and both tracks were later re-recorded and included on their debut album A Brief History of Love in September 2009. The song was self-produced by the band, and the single was a limited edition pressing of only 500 copies.[1] [2] The sleeve features a homoerotic photograph by Dennis Cooper as its cover. Similarly, a limited edition 12" single for "Too Young to Love," released in Japan only on April 1, 2009, features more of Cooper's photography as its cover.[3] The 12" also features an early version of "Count Backwards from Ten," which was also re-recorded for the debut album, and the exclusive non-album track "With You."
The Big Pink signed with famed British record label 4AD in February 2009,[4] won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award for best new act at the NME Shockwave Awards,[5] and released their second single "Velvet" in April 2009. Remixes of "Too Young to Love" by Delorean, The Living Eye, and UNKLE surfaced throughout 2009.
