Texas / Southside reissue

Expanded set offer demos, ‘Chic’ version of ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’ & more

Texas’ 1989 album Southside, will be reissued as a 2CD deluxe set and on coloured vinyl, in September.

Their debut features the top 10 hit ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’ which for 8 years remained their only sizeable hit in the UK until 1997’s ‘Say What You Want’.

The 2CD deluxe offers the first physical release of the ‘Southside Demos’ which were issued digitally in 2020. These six tracks were recorded in Glasgow between February and December of 1987 and sit alongside another previously unreleased offering which is ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’ as produced by Bernard Edwards! This early version also features Tony Thompson of Chic on drums and was recorded at Burbank Studios in LA in summer 1987. It’s an interesting listen (see below).

The CD reissue also features six tracks recorded Live at The Paradiso, Amsterdam in 1989 (four of these were released digitally as ‘Southside Covers’, five years ago).

The album will also be reissued on white vinyl, which offers the CD album track ‘Faith’ on vinyl LP for the first time. The record has been cut from the original analogue tapes at Abbey Road.

Southside will be reissued on 19 September 2025, via PIAS.
