Big Country / The Seer, Peace In Our Time and No Place Like Home: 2CDs

three
Universal Music will issue a trio of Big Country deluxe editions next month.

The Seer, Peace In Our Time and No Place Like Home are all two-CD sets packed with bonus material that includes B-sides, demos, twelve-inch remixes, seven-inch edits and even some unreleased songs. Full track listings below.

The third, fourth and fifth Big Country albums respectively, these reissues jump ahead of second album Steeltown in the reissue schedules. That album was due to be re-released this past spring, but appears to have been delayed and now looks to be coming out after the current batch, with the end of September the current release date on Amazon.

The Seer was released in 1986 and features the band’s biggest UK hit Look Away (two remixes are on the bonus disc). It is also notable for a rare instance of Kate Bush performing on another act’s album with her vocal contribution to the title track.

Peace In Our Time followed two years later, while 1991’s No Place Like Home was the band’s first long-player not to yield a UK top 20 hit.

All three albums are reissued on 4 August 2014.
