The Lover Speaks / deluxe reissue
The Lover Speaks – British duo David Freeman and Joseph Hughes – only released one eponymous album in 1986 – and then all but disappeared. That album, which features the original version of No More I Love You’s – famously covered by Annie Lennox – will be reissued in June as an expanded deluxe edition.
The Jimmy Iovine produced record has been remastered with eight bonus tracks added to the 10-track album, including remixes of singles Every Lover’s Sign, Tremble Dancing and I Close My Eyes and Count To Ten (the Dusty Springfield classic). Six of these bonus tracks have never appeared on CD before.
The 16-page booklet not only contains sleeve notes and photos but also includes track annotations from Freeman (vocals) and Hughes (guitars, keyboards).
The Lover Speaks will be released on 22 June 2015.
