Elvis Costello’s 1996 album All This Useless Beauty is reissued as a limited edition coloured vinyl pressing. The SDE shop has a few left.

This 40th anniversary edition of Dexys Midnight Runners 1982 album Too-Rye-Ay features a newly mixed version of the record, dubbed the ‘as it should have sounded’ version. This is because Kevin Rowland was apparently “never happy” with the final mix, despite its success. The 3CD also features B-sides, rarities and three previously unreleased outtakes and 16 tracks from the live shows at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre, in October 1982.

The working life of award winning and hit-making producer Trevor Horn – “the man who invented the 80s” – is traced through a new book in which Horn himself talks us through some of his most notable productions. This SDE review should give you a flavour.
