Hue and Cry / Remote: Major to Minor / 4-disc deluxe package

majortominor_sde

Scottish pop duo Hue and Cry are reissuing one of their most successful albums as a special deluxe book set.

Their second album, 1988’s Remote, becomes Remote: Major To Minor – a 3CD+DVD set packaged within a 48-page hardback book.

The original album featured two memorable top 30 singles (Looking for Linda and Violently) as well as the almost-hits Ordinary Angel and Sweet Invisibility. This new set not only provides a newly remastered version of Remote, but offers a completely re-recorded and reworked version of the album 25 years on. The third CD in the collection presents a selection of remixes and B-sides personally selected by Patrick and Gregory Kane (the Kate Bush cover The Man With The Child In His Eyes is notable by its absence!). These have all been taken from the original master tapes which were ‘baked’. Finally the DVD element not only contains the promo videos, but has Hue and Cry on camera discussing the album track-by-track.

The 10″x 10″ book charts the formative years of the band and includes many unseen photos from the personal collections of Patrick and Gregory as well as scanned handwritten lyrics.

Remote: Major to Minor is available exclusively from the Hue and Cry shop. If you get in early with your pre-order the boys add a handwritten dedication to you in your book!
