35th Anniversary Remastered / New Sleeve Notes

Description:

The Communardsâ?? sophomore album â??Redâ?? consolidated the genius of the musical partnership between Bronski Beat singer Jimmy Somerville and pianist Richard Coles. Fusing synths and hi-NRG production with lush string and horn arrangements, The Communards straddled pop and the political, the albumâ??s themes set against the political unrest and moral panic of late 80s Britain. A global smash upon its release, this remastered and expanded 35Th Anniversary Edition features an extensive array of B-sides, live tracks, demo versions and remixes, including classic mixes by legendary 80s club doyens Shep Pettibone, Clivilles & Cole (better known as C&C Music Factory) and a euphoric new 2022 remix of â??Never Can Say Goodbyeâ?? by UK outfit The 2 Bears (Hot Chipâ??s Joe Goddard and DJ Raf Rundell). Available on Deluxe Double CD , Collector White & Red Double Vinyl , Black Vinyl. All editions remastered , with new sleeve notes. - 35TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED /NEW SLEEVE NOTES

Produced by Stephen Hague and the band, Red's best known single was the UK number four hit 'Never Can Say Goodbye', although follow up 45s 'For A Friend' and 'There's More To Love' both reached the top 30 in Britain.

Celebrate the legacy of The Communards with "Red (35 Year Anniversary Edition) (LP)", a special reissue that marks three and a half decades since the release of their iconic second album. Originally launched in 1987, "Red" features some of the duo?s most memorable hits, including ?Never Can Say Goodbye? and ?Tomorrow,? blending synth-pop brilliance with soulful vocals and political edge. This anniversary edition on vinyl offers remastered audio for an enhanced listening experience, making it essential for both longtime fans and new listeners alike. The Communards?formed by Jimmy Somerville after his departure from Bronski Beat alongside classically trained pianist Richard Coles?rose to fame in the mid-80s with their unique fusion of pop, dance, and socially conscious lyrics. Their debut single ?Don?t Leave Me This Way? became one of the decade?s defining tracks, topping charts across Europe. With "Red," they cemented their reputation as pioneers who brought LGBTQ+ themes into mainstream music while delivering infectious melodies. London Records is renowned for its pivotal role in shaping British pop culture since its founding in 1947. As home to legendary acts like The Rolling Stones, Bananarama, and New Order over the years, London Records has consistently championed innovative artists who push boundaries within popular music.
