Way Beyond Blue is the debut album by the Welsh band Catatonia.[2] It has been seen by many fans as being something of a compilation album, as all but five songs on the album had appeared on one of the band's early EPs or singles, albeit in different renditions (see below). It spawned the band's first top 40 hit, "You've Got a Lot to Answer For" which hit No. 35.

The Guardian concluded that "'Lost Cat' and 'Sweet Catatonia', creamy janglefests both, are among the best things to have emerged from the nascent Welsh scene."[4]
