Kim Wilde‘s three albums for RAK Records will be reissued as significantly expanded three-discs sets and as coloured vinyl pressings, in January.

The start of Kim’s career produced five consecutive top 20 hit singles in the UK including ‘Kids in America’ (#2) , ‘Chequered Love’ (#4) and ‘Cambodia’ (#12). Despite some significant success later in the 1980s, with the Another Step and Close albums, she would never match that run again (although Close did deliver three top 10 singles in a row).

The three albums in question from this era – Kim Wilde (1981), Select (1982) and Catch As Catch Can (1983) – are each offered as 2CD+DVD sets, with newly remastered audio (via fresh transfers of the original analogue tapes) courtesy of Tom Parker.

The audio bonus content is a mixture of non-album tracks, rough mixes & demos and – deep breath –  ‘new mixes’. The DVDs in each set offer promo videos and TV appearances from the time, including Top of the Pops, Harty and Crackerjack!

These three records are being reissued on vinyl too, with each getting a limited edition coloured vinyl pressing (yellow, white and blue, respectively).

These are all approved by Kim herself and each package includes lyrics, rare photos and memorabilia plus new sleeve notes written by Marcel Rijs.

Kim Wilde, Select and Catch As Catch Can will be reissued on 31 January 2020.
