Sam Brown box set: full track listing
Pre-order a SIGNED copy of the new SDE-curated box set
The full track listing to the forthcoming five-disc Sam Brown box set, The A&M Years 1988-1990 can finally be revealed…
This SDE-curated 4CD+DVD set compiles everything officially released by Sam during her period at A&M, including both the Stop! and April Moon albums in full and more than two discs’ worth of bonus audio, including single remixes, unheard alternate versions, B-sides and extra tracks from the singles along with 14 previously unreleased demos (including two never issued songs I Cried and Wasted Away).
This package also includes a first-ever DVD release of Sam Brown… The Videos. Previously available only on VHS, this selection of seven promo videos is newly compiled from archive one-inch reels for optimum quality and actually expands on the original version by including bonus Sam Brown interview clips and behind the scenes live and in-the-studio footage! Original aspect ratios for the clips has been maintained (the DVD is NTSC, all region, so will play everywhere!).
Original tapes were transferred for this release at Abbey Road Studios and it was mastered at Fluid Mastering (who worked on other SDE sets such as Paul Young and It’s Immaterial). Sam Brown has provided a track-by-track annotation in the 24-page booklet.
The A&M Years 1988-1990 comes packaged in a clamshell box and can be pre-ordered exclusively from the SDE online store ShopSuperDeluxe.com for shipping in early December. A limited quantity of the box set SIGNED by Sam is currently available.
Please note: that this box set will not be available on Amazon or any other retailer for about six months. It’s exclusively available via ShopSuperDeluxe.com.
