Bernard Butler / People Move On reissue

Bernard Butler’s debut solo album, 1998’s People Move On, will be reissued as an expanded four-CD deluxe edition and 2LP vinyl set early next year

Butler left Suede in 1994 before the release of their Dog Man Star album and initially joined forces with singer David McAlmont, initially for standalone singles ‘Yes’ and ‘You Do’, although Hut Records in the end persuaded the pair to bring all their recordings together (B-sides etc.) for the Sound Of McAlmont & Butler album, which was released in November 1995.

Then in 1997, Alan McGee signed Bernard to Creation Records, and he set about recording his first solo album, playing all the instruments himself, except for the drums and strings.

Released in April 1998, the album features the singles ‘Stay’, ‘Not Alone’ and ‘Change Of Heart’ and reached number 11 in the UK album charts.

For this reissue Bernard Butler decided that he wanted to re-record all the vocals, for both the album and the B-sides. He has also added the “occasional guitar overdub”. In the case of album-closer ‘I’m Tired’, no instrumental existed and so the 2021 version is a new one-take performance.

This ‘2021 edition’ doesn’t replace the original in the four-CD deluxe edition but rather sits alongside it, on CD 2 and part of CD 3. The fourth disc features some gems from Bernard’s own archives: demos, a rehearsal, solo live tracks, and a selection of fascinating outtakes from the string sessions.

The 28 page book is extensively annotated by Bernard himself, contains all the lyrics and includes photos from Bernard’s own collection along with some unpublished session photos from photographer Jill Furmanovsky.

In addition to the CD set, a 2LP version pressed on white vinyl is available. This is the ‘new vocals’ version of ‘People Move On’ and features updated front cover artwork featuring one of those shots from Jill Furmanovsky’s session (rejected at the time by the label).

The four-CD version with the signed print is exclusive to Amazon in the UK. Vinyl fans can buy the white vinyl with a signed print exclusively from Rough Trade in the UK.

People Move On will be reissued on 11 February 2022 (was 28 January 2022).
