With the recent news that the US market would reissue the debut solo album from Alison Moyet, there has come to light that not just Alf that will be remastered and reissued but her other three Columbia albums would also be reissued. Those will include Raindancing (1987), Hoodoo (1991), and Essex (1994). All of thee mentioned albums will be newly remastered and will include a treasure of bonus tracks that include live cuts, B-sides, 12″ single mixes, demos, and different versions. All albums are being reissued via BMG.
All extended booklets include rare photos, new notes, new interviews with Alison Moyet, and other goodies.
All four Alison Moyet Deluxe Editions can be acquired via the UK Amazon portal or by the Alison Moyet page that leads to Pledge Music (all links inside) accessed here. If missed, my original post on Alf can be read here. It may also be that the US marketplace will soon release these three other Moyet classics.
