Cock Robin expanded reissues
Eighties US pop band Cock Robin‘s first two albums are being reissued as expanded deluxe editions by Cherry Red.
The self-titled 1985 debut (which spawned the successful-in-Europe single The Promise You Made) and After Here Through Midland from 1987 both come as expanded single CD editions and include various remixes, single edits and non-album tracks, some of which are new to CD (see full track listings below). These have been curated by DJ, producer and songwriter Vinny Vero, who has sought out the original master tapes and did such a good job on the Basia Time and Tide reissue.
The CD booklets contains comprehensive sleeve notes including track annotations from Peter Kingsbery, the singer and bass player who wrote all of the bands songs.
Both albums are reissued on 8 September 2014.
