Universal Music will reissue nine Gary Moore albums on the Japanese SHM-CD format in April.
The seven studio albums – starting with 1982’s Corridors of Power and ending with 1992’s After Hours – were all issued on Virgin at the time and there are also two live albums: Rockin’ Every Night: Live in Japan (1983) and We Want Moore! (1984).
These limited edition CD reissues are Japanese CDs and come in the ‘vinyl replica’ / mini-LP CD / Paper Sleeve format which replicate original finishes and artwork and all come with OBI-strips.
These appear to be using the 2002 remasters and all CDs come with bonus tracks (see full tracklisting, below). . The good news is that Universal must have imported these since they are available on Amazon in the UK and other channels for a relatively cheap price (around the £20 mark).
These will be released on 5 May 2023, via UMR/EMI.
