The news of Steeltown, the second album from the Scottish band, Big Country, being reissued in April of 2014, found the excellent sophomore release by the band being pushed back to Fall dates. The album reissue had been eagerly anticipated by fans. And so, this is not new news for many of you. But in the interest of keeping this great album on your radar, and for those not aware of new dates of availability, I decided a reminder wouldn’t be a bad thing.
On September 29, Universal UK will release the desired album on 2CD Deluxe Edition that features the original tracks on the first disc, and a host of bonus tracks on the second disc, 27 total tracks.. Universal UK will also release the reissue on a 2LP set as well with a collection of 21 tracks.
In the US, those same albums in their respective formats will be made available on October 7 as import titles.
