Deacon Blue / multi-disc reissues

Demon Music Group are set to release some of the most comprehensive deluxe reissues seen for a long time this October, when what looks like Deacon Blue‘s entire commercial studio output is issued via imprint Edsel Records, largely in 2CD+DVD and 3CD+DVD variants.

All five studio albums will come in the luxurious ‘case-bound book’ packaging used on the recent Everything But The Girl reissues and have been produced with the full cooperation of Ricky Ross, who has contributed notes in the booklets, all the lyrics to his songs, and ephemera and photos from his own collection.

In addition, a brand new compilation called The Rest will round-up tracks not naturally associated with specific records. These include the new tracks from the 1999 semi-studio album Walking Back Home, the Four Bacharach and David Songs EP and new tracks included on the 1994 Our Town greatest hits album.

Raintown, When The World Knows Your Name, Fellow Hoodlums and Whatever You Say, Say Nothing are all released on 8 October, followed by Homesick on the 15 October and The Rest on 29 October.
