Starsailor have announced a deluxe reissue of their debut album ‘Love Is Here’.
The 20th anniversary re-release, due December 10, comes in 2CD and 2LP vinyl variants, comprising the original 11-track album plus a second set of demos, covers and re-recorded tracks.
For the set, the band re-recorded five songs from ‘Love Is Here’ – Good Souls, Alcoholic, Fever, Way To Fall and the title track – offering “new arrangements and new sounds”.
Frontman James Walsh says: “With the new tracks we didn’t want to simply re-record the same versions so we worked on new arrangements & new sounds.
“Way To Fall is much more understated and gentle than the original but it works really well and Good Souls envokes the powerful song it’s turned into after numerous big live performances where it’s had to take on a larger life than the subtle studio recording on ‘Love Is Here’.”
Other bonus tracks include a demo version of Coming Down, a 2006 acoustic performance of From A Whisper To A Scream, plus three cover versions.
‘Love Is Here’ 20th anniversary edition is available to pre-order now.
