Howard Jones / In The Running reissue

Jones’ final album for Warners gets the reissue treatment

Cherry Red complete their programme of Howard Jones Warner-era studio album reissues in April with a 3CD+DVD expanded version (along with a coloured vinyl pressing) of the 1992 album In The Running.

The album was co-produced with Ross Cullum, who also co-wrote four of the songs. In The Running would be Jones’ last original studio album for Elektra/East West and it offered no change to Howard’s declining commercial fortunes in the UK, delivering zero hit singles (at this point it has been six years since he cracked the UK top 40).

The reissue follows the same pattern as One to One and Cross That Line. A 3CD+DVD digipak includes a generous selection of previously unreleased content including alternates, edits, remixes, live cuts and instrumentals. Interestingly, included in this set are a few variants of a 1993 remix of Jones’ 1983 hit ‘What Is Love?’ This was commissioned for reasons no one can remember and was never released.

The DVD ((NTSC/region-free) features a brand new interview with Howard discussing the album, a track-by-track commentary and some TV appearances and promo videos.

The album will also be issued on clear (‘translucent’) vinyl. Both will be released on 30 April 2021.
