Falco / Junge Roemer 40th anniversary reissue

Falco’s 1984 album Junge Roemer will be reissued next month for its 40th anniversary.

Junge Roemer was Falco’s second album and the one before international success beckoned with Falco 3‘s ‘Rock Me Amadeus’. However the title track was a top 10 hit in Austria consolidating his success there after his debut Einzelhaft which contained the chart-topping ‘Der Kommissar’.

The reissue is available as a 2CD set, a double vinyl (which comes in a lift-off lid box) and a cassette. All formats have bonus tracks, with the CD offering a comprehensive collection of remixes of the album’s title track (including those by DJ John Luongo), along with some live selections and an interview with Falco by the music journalist Ingeborg Schober (in German). The 2LP vinyl mirrors these bonus tracks on its second LP, but omits the interview and the cassette includes most of the bonus content as well (no interview and the 7″ edit of ‘Junge Roemer’ is dropped).

The album was remastered by Robert Ponger, who originally produced it back in 1984 and there’s new sleeve notes by Michael Rager and full lyrics to the songs in the booklet.

Junge Roemer will be reissued on 19 April 2024 via Sony Austria.
