Gomez / Bring It On 20th anniversary edition super deluxe edition
Gomez‘s debut Bring It On will be reissued for its 20th anniversary and amongst the formats will be a super deluxe edition box set featuring a host of unreleased songs and demos.
The indie band from Southport were signed to Hut Records (home to The Auteurs amongst others) who issued Bring It On in 1998, when the ashes of Britpop were still smouldering. The album was critically acclaimed and sold well, despite having not any big hit singles to its name (Whippin’ Piccadilly was the highest charting single in the UK, reaching number 35). The band’s credibility was confirmed when the album won the 1998 Mercury Music Prize beating The Verve‘s Urban Hymns, amongst others.
The new box set has four CDs. The album and all the B-sides have been remastered (by Frank Arkwright) and the package includes 35 previously unreleased tracks made up of 13 songs never released in any form by Gomez (including covers of Neil Young’s Unknown Legend and T-Bone Walker’s Mean Old World).
The 20th anniversary super deluxe edition of Bring It On
The last CD in the set features the band’s 1998 Glastonbury performance and BBC sessions (the latter was included on the bonus disc of the 10th anniversary two-CD set).
A double vinyl version of the remastered album will also be issued, although it’s ‘album-only’ and doesn’t come with any bonus tracks.
The package is presented in the same style as the Tears For Fears and Simple Minds super deluxe editions and includes a 10,000-word essay by music writer Paul Stokes, with new interviews with the band and those close to them.
Bring It On will be reissued on 20 April 2018.
