The Bad And Lowdown World Of The Kane Gang / 3CD deluxe
The Kane Gang were label mates of Prefab Sprout, signed to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s successful Kitchenware stable in the early 1980s. Their 1985 debut album The Bad And Lowdown World Of The Kane Gang spawned four top 75 hit singles and reached No. 21 in the UK album charts.
Cherry Red Records are issuing a three-CD deluxe celebration of this album in October which will feature an enormous amount of additional material including previously unreleased band demos, non-album tracks, a handful of remixes and a 1984 gig at Glasgow’s Strathclyde University (which is mostly unissued). The set has been compiled and collated by founder members Dave Brewis, Martin Brammer and Paul Woods who were also interviewed for the sleeve notes.
The Bad And Lowdown World Of The Kane Gang is reissued on 27 October 2014.
