The House Of Love's debut album will be reissued this September in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Yes, this record was reissued back in 2012 as a 3CD set, but now a new, more expansive, remastered edition will be released to mark the 30th anniversary.
The 30th anniversary edition was remastered from the original quarter-inch tapes and has been expanded to a 5CD set and limited edition double vinyl set. The CD box collects the original album, non-album tracks, demos, early mixes, BBC radio sessions and a disc worth of live tracks, most of which are previously unreleased and comes housed in a hardback book with new liner notes and photos. The double vinyl includes the original album remastered, plus the singles (the first 13 tracks found on disc 2 of the CD set). Both the CD set and double vinyl arrive on September 28th and can be pre-ordered through Cherry Red.
The House Of Love are playing a handful of dates in the U.K. this November in celebration of their 30th anniversary, however no U.S. dates have been announced.
