Fine Young Cannibals / ‘FYC40’ deluxe and Raw & The Cooked SDE exclusive blu-ray

Quick FYC pre-order at the SDE shop

Fine Young Cannibals celebrate 40 years this November with some exciting products including FYC40 –  a career spanning 4CD+DVD deluxe set – and an SDE exclusive blu-ray of their transatlantic number one album The Raw & The Cooked, featuring a David Kosten Dolby Atmos Mix of the 1989 long-player.

Formed in 1985 by Andy Cox, David Steele (ex-The Beat), and Roland Gift, the band broke through with ‘Johnny Come Home’ and their cover of ‘Suspicious Minds.’ The Raw & the Cooked brought global fame, with ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ and ‘Good Thing’ both hitting No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA.

FYC40 is the very best of Fine Young Cannibals that features:

• CD1: Fine Young Cannibals’ self-titled album plus 8 bonus tracks (including previously unreleased Anne Dudley sessions)
• CD2: The Raw & The Cooked plus 10 bonus tracks
• CD3: Select remixes 1989-1996 including 2 previously unreleased mixes by Prince Paul and Juan Atkins
• CD4: More remixes 1996-2025 include four new 2025 remixes (Flight Facilities / DJ Q / Initial Talk / The Reflex) and 3 remixes on CD for the first time (Cerrone, Dimitri from Paris, Derrick Carter)
• DVD: Restored music videos in HD, ‘Live at the Paramount’(1989) – 15 track full concert restored and remastered, and select BBC performances from The Old Grey Whistle Test, Wogan and Top of The Pops

In total, the FYC40 deluxe edition features over 100 tracks and the hardcover book packaging is housed in a heavyweight slipcase. Audio is remastered and there’s essays by Andrew Harrison and John Earls.

The Raw & The Cooked was a smash hit and contains many singles, including ‘Don’t Look Back’, ‘I’m Not The Man I Used to Be’ and the band’s two USA number ones, ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ and ‘Good Thing’.

The album includes tracks co-produced with David Z who worked extensively with Prince, notably ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ and ‘I’m Not Satisfied’, but the rest of the album, including ‘Good Thing’, was mostly produced by the band with engineering credits being shared by Julian Mendelsohn, Robin Goodfellow, Dave Anderson and John Potoker.

David Kosten has rebuilt a 2025 stereo version of the album from the master tapes and from that created an immersive Dolby Atmos Mix of The Raw & The Cooked. The SDE exclusive blu-ray (#53 in the SDE Surround Series) also includes 2025 5.1 mixes from Kosten, headphones-only Binaural Mixes and Instrumental versions of each (Atmos, 5.1, Stereo and Binaural). Note, that no multi-track tapes could be found for the song ‘Don’t Let It Get You Down’ so David made use stem-splitting technology for that track to create Atmos, 5.1 and instrumental versions (the stereo is the original).

Additionally, the blu-ray features the original 1989 master, the 2013 remaster and a new 2025 remaster of The Raw & The Cooked.
