NewsChris Rea / New Light Through Old Windows
1988 ‘best of’ remastered on vinyl and CD
Chris Rea’s 1988 compilation, New Light Through Old Windows, will be reissued in June.
The ‘best of’ was unusual in that Rea re-recorded most of the songs (hence the title) and it also featured a brand new song called ‘Working On It’.
New Light Through Old Windows capitalised on the success of Chris Rea’s previous studio album, 1987’s Dancing With Strangers, which had reached number two in the UK, and the re-recording of ‘On The Beach’ was released as a single, reaching No 12 in the UK.
The collection went triple platinum, peaking at No 5 in the UK album charts and paved the way for the massive success of 1989’s The Road to Hell.
For this reissue, the compilation has been remastered and is issued on CD and as a 2LP set pressed on recycled black vinyl.
New Light Through Old Windows will be re-released on 11 July 2025, via Rhino.
