Updated cover art for the forthcoming Swing Out Sister box

The previously announced Swing Out Sister box set always had temporary front cover artwork, but SDE can now confirm that the image above will be the finished, confirmed cover art for, Blue Mood, Breakout & Beyond, the forthcoming 8CD box set.

The handwritten text is by Corinne Drewery and the image is familiar, but a classic, originally taken by Nick Knight for the front cover of the Feb 1986 issue of I-D Magazine (“The Cool Issue”) and subsequently reused for the Breakout single.

The box set will feature the group’s first three studio albums, It’s Better To Travel (1987), Kaleidoscope World (1989) and Get In Touch With Yourself (1992) and the Japan-only live album Live at the Jazz Café (1993). Corinne has re-interpreted the artwork for the various albums and created new artwork for the bonus discs (three CDs of remixes and a final disc collecting B-sides).

I spoke to band members Corinne Drewery and Andy Connell along with producer Paul O’Duffy about this era, and my interviews with them feature in the included booklet as they talk through the various albums (and the B-sides!).

Blue Mood, Breakout and Beyond will be released on 29 July 2022, via Cherry Red.
