Description

This New deluxe expanded edition is a comprehensive celebration of this singularly moody and magnificent Marc Almond album, the first big solo album released without any major label involvement. To quote Keith Phipps of AV Club, Marc effortlessly establishes himself herein as, ‘a smoky chanteuse of the synth age’ offering ‘a private world of romantic martyrhood set to electronic beats’ .The curation of this expanded edition offers a multifaceted insight into this unique album through the inclusion of alternative, demo and live versions of both album tracks and other contemporaneous songs. The three discs combined offer over three and a half hours of music. Disc One features the original album with three remixes, one of each of the singles released from it. Disc Two majors on bonus period studio recordings and demos. Disc Three offers live versions of many of the album tracks as well as the three dance remixes of the album’s debut single ‘Black Kiss’. The discs come with a 28page colour lyrics booklet insert with photographs. Marc Almond is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £22 +P&P
