Way Beyond Blue is the debut album by Welsh band Catatonia. It has been seen by many fans as being something of an early greatest hits compilation, as many of the tracks have either been released previously and/or re-recorded with previous members and different producers. It spawned the band's first Top 40 hit, "You've Got A Lot To Answer For" which hit No.35.
