Mercury Rev / All Is Dream 4CD deluxe

Cherry Red will release a much expanded, four-CD edition of Mercury Rev‘s All Is Dream album, in November.

The album was the follow-up to the acclaimed Deserter’s Songs and features the singles ‘Nite And Fog’, ‘The Dark Is Rising’ and ‘Little Rhymes’. The album was issued in 2001, breaching the top 20 in both the UK and the USA.



The new four-CD deluxe edition has been “compiled and coordinated” in conjunction with the band’s Jonathan Donahue and Sean ‘Grasshopper’ Mackowiak. As well as the original ten-track album this set offers a bonus disc of 20 B-sides, outtakes and demos, half of which are previously unreleased. The third CD offers previously unissued concert recordings while the final disc delivers a French radio session which was only previously available as a promo CD.

The All Is Dream four-CD set is packaged as a hardcover book with lyrics and sleeve notes by Keith Cameron. Best of all you can get in quick for an amazing pre-order price from Amazon Germany of just €19.

All Is Dream will be reissued on 29 November 2019, via Cherry Red.
