Summary:

Two great reissues packed with lots of bonus material - well worth buying.

The first two albums from All about Eve have just been reissued by Universal music.  Both albums are being released as double CDs conssiting of the original album and a whole host of bonus material.

All About Eve’s debut album originally reached No.7 in the UK album chart and “Sacarlet and other stories” reached number 9. So as well as the original albums, what do you get?  Well with the first album you get the 12inch versions and extended mixes of the singles as well as the B sides.  With “Scarlet and other stories” you get extended remixes, B-sides, the Wayne Hussey session from 1990, two previously unreleased acoustic BBC radio sessions plus a host of Live recordings from Glastonbury and headline shows in 1989.

I bought both these albums when they were originally released and love them.  Will I be buying the re-issues though?  The short answer is Yes I will.  I no longer have the singles on vinyl so don’t have the bonus material (and in fact some wasn’t released before anyway), and with the amount of extra material then that more than justifies the price in my view.

Two great reissues packed with lots of bonus material – well worth buying.
