King / Remixes and Rarities

By Paul Sinclair

Cherry Red continue their Remixes & Rarities series (initiated by a certain SDE editor) with a two-CD set of classic 12-inch versions, rare mixes and other audio nuggets from short-lived 80s pop band King.

The band were signed to CBS and released two albums in the mid-eighties (Steps in Time and Bitter Sweet) and they delivered a top ten hit apiece (Love & Pride and Alone Without You). Three other singles charted in the UK top 40 but the besuited and mulleted group called it a day soon after and Paul King ended up as a ‘VJ’ for MTV (and later VH-1)

There are loads of different mixes on this set including four versions of Love & Pride and five variants of Alone Without You. The label say that “where available we have sourced the tracks from the original production master tapes”.

King’s Remixes & Rarities will be released on 15 June 2018.
