Enchanted / Marc Almond

SDE Reader Rating

4.0

Marc Almond‘s 1990 album Enchanted will be reissued as a three-disc deluxe edition in June.

The album features the singles ‘Waifs and Strays’, ‘The Desperate Hours’ and ‘A Lover Spurned’, with the latter providing Enchanted‘s only UK top 30 hit single. That song was produced by Stephen Hague although Bob Kraushaar and Gary Maughan also worked on the album.

The 2CD+DVD deluxe reissue offers the original album with six B-sides appended on the first disc, while the second CD showcases the various commercially released extended versions and dance remixes along with five demos. The final disc is a DVD and while sparse (just the three promo videos) it’s nice to see them included, nonetheless.

Enchanted is being reissued by Cherry Red and comes in one of their ‘capacity wallets’ (discs in card sleeves, in an outer card wallet) and a 28-page booklet, which includes full album and B-side lyrics and a transcription of the original 1990 Parlophone press kit interview with Marc Almond.

Vinyl fans will be delighted to learn that a limited edition 2LP edition comes bonus tracks; a second LP of all six B-sides and the five demos. Amazon UK appear to have an exclusive ‘midnight blue’ coloured vinyl limited edition.

Enchanted will be reissued on 25 June 2021.
