Echo & The Bunnymen / ‘What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?’ reissue

25th anniversary reissue

Echo & The Bunnymen’s 1999 studio album What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? will be reissued for its 25th anniversary, in November.

The band’s eighth album was the follow-up to their 1997 comeback album Evergreen (reissued in 2022) which saw original Bunnymen members Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and Les Pattison reunite in the studio for the first time in almost a decade. 

After ‘Evergreen’ I was writing all this kind of stuff, and I thought, we’re just going to go in there, and half of it will be very song-orientated, and the other will be ‘Heaven Up Here’

Ian McCulloch (in 1999)

What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? featured two singles, ‘Get in The Car’ and ‘Rust’, the band’s final UK Top 40 hit. 

The formats for the 25th anniversary reissue are two different vinyl editions (clear and rust orange) and a 2CD deluxe which features 25 bonus tracks, including rarities and previously unreleased tracks including live performances from The Improv Theatre in London (recorded for Radio One’s John Peel Show) and Cream in Liverpool. The first 500 orders via the band’s official shop come with a free ‘Rust’ CD single.

What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? will be released on 29 November 2024, via London Records.
