Bananarama reissues on the way
Edsel Records will reissue eighties girl group Bananarama‘s first six albums on 30 September 2013.
Details are scant at present, but the albums, originally released on London Records, all look to be 2CD+DVD sets, and will likely utilise the ‘casebound book’ packaging that Edsel have adopted for their forthcoming Belinda Carlisle reissues.
The series of deluxe editions starts with their debut – 1983’s Deep Sea Skiving – and works through to the post Siobhan Fahey era, with 1991’s Pop Life (featuring Jacquie O’Sullivan) and Please Yourself from 1993 when Bananarama became a duo (Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward).
Expect the usual comprehensive array of remixes and at least all the promo videos on the DVDs.
