The Sound of McAlmont & Butler anniversary deluxe edition

Bernard Butler’s first post Suede work was his 1995 collaboration with David McAlmont, appropriately titled The Sound of McAlmont & Butler. That album is to be reissued as a five-disc 20th anniversary deluxe edition in September, complete with hardcover book.

Bernard Butler himself has remastered the album from the original tapes, and the new set comes with 15-track bonus CD of demos, remixes, single versions along with some tracks from a BBC radio session.

A DVD (NTSC, no region restrictions) contains promos, BBC TV appearances, new 2015 acoustic sessions and a new hour-long interview with Bernard and David discussing the making of the album.

This anniversary deluxe includes the original album pressed on 180g vinyl and a bonus 12-inch vinyl with the two singles Yes and You Do plus the demos of both on the flipside.

As well as the deluxe book edition cheaper 2CD+DVD set is being made available at the same time.

This five-disc deluxe set is available to order via Amazon UK or you can pick up a copy that comes with a SIGNED PRINT via the official store which is also the cheaper option at present. It’s released on 25 September 2015.
