Blue Rondo A La Turk / Chewing The Fat expanded deluxe edition

Cherry Red will issue Blue Rondo A La Turk‘s debut album on CD for the first time this month.

The jazz-pop outfit released Chewing The Fat in 1982, a long-player that included the top 40 UK hit Me and Mr. Sanchez which became the official theme for the 1982 Brazil World Cup.

By the time the album came out the band had inflated to a ten-piece, three of whom –  Mark Reilly, Danny White and Kito Poncioni – left to form Matt Bianco. After this, one further record emerged (Bees Knees And Chicken Elbows) under the truncated Blue Rondo name, before the group called it a day.

This new two-CD deluxe edition features bonus seven-inch and twelve-inch versions and non-album tracks, as well as a selection of contemporary remixes by the likes of Youth and Andy Weatherall.

Chewing The Fat deluxe edition is released on 16 June 2014.
