"Shower Your Love" is a song by English psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker. It first appeared on their second album, Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts, in March 1999 and was released as a single two months later. It reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart.

Releases

Issued on two CDs and a cassette, "Shower Your Love" is augmented by three B-sides and a radio session recording of 1998 single "Sound of Drums". The first CD came in a standard slimline jewel case and the second in a Digipak with four photographic cards. These were taken at the 100 Club in London in March 1999 by Jill Furmanovsky. The artwork is slightly different for each release; the second CD is shown to the right.

The initial UK release had an error with the track listing, which meant that the tracks from CD2 were pressed on the discs for both CD1 and CD2. This meant that CD1 played the incorrect songs for tracks two and three. This was quickly fixed and purchasers of the initial pressing of CD1 could return it to the retailer and receive a replacement disc. Both "Shower Your Love" and "Light of the Day" were included on the retrospective compilation Kollected in 2002.
