Beautifully presented 2 CD casebound book. Features 18 bonus tracks: 10 non-album single A- and B-sides, and 7 previously unreleased home demos, and a previously unreleased version of "Apron Strings".
'Idlewild' was followed by the more introspective machine-pop-soul of gold-selling 'Idlewild' (1988), which was given a quick re-release after the band's Top 3 UK Top 40 success with a cover of Danny Whitten's "I Don't Want To Talk About It" in the summer of 1988, now included on CD 2.
In a beautifully presented 2 CD casebound book, put together with the full involvement of Ben and Tracey, and featuring a newly-written note by the couple, along with all the lyrics, 'Idlewild' features 18 bonus tracks: 10 non-album single A- and B-sides, and 7 previously unreleased home demos, and a previously unreleased version of "Apron Strings", recorded for, but not used in the John Hughes film 'She's Having a Baby'.
