The House Of Love / Burn Down The House: The Fontana Years 1989-1993

An 8CD box set compiling the Fontana Years of The House of Love will be released in July. Burn Down The World: The Fontana Years 1989-1993 features albums, singles, B-sides and rarities.

The package includes expanded versions of the band’s second album, 1990’s The House Of Love (aka Fontana or ‘The Butterfly Album’), 1992’s Babe Rainbow and 1993’s Audience With The Mind. Additionally, the A Spy in the House of Love compilation (from 1990) is expanded to three CDs offering a massive 60 tracks, 46 more than the original collection! These discs offer never before heard demos, lost tracks and live recordings sourced from Fontana’s archive, alongside rare fan club-only releases, compilation appearances, promotional versions and tracks never before available on CD

The last two CDs – Live in Leicester 1990 and Live in London and New York 1991-1992 – offer 30 previously unreleased live tracks from the era.

In total, Burn Down The World offers 139 tracks, and has been produced in association with founder, frontman and principle songwriter Guy Chadwick. Sleeve notes include a new interview with Chadwick and unseen imagery from the band’s archive.
