Starsailor announce 20th anniversary edition of debut album 'Love Is Here'
It features five specially recorded 20th Anniversary Edition tracks
Last updated 3rd Nov 2021
Starsailor will release a 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of their blockbuster debut album ‘Love Is Here’ on Friday 10th December 2021.
Originally released in October 2001, ‘Love Is Here’ charted at Number 2 in the UK, achieved Platinum status, and spawned chart-denting singles ‘Fever’, ‘Good Souls’, ‘Lullaby’, ‘Poor Misguided Fool’ and the Top 10 hit ‘Alcoholic.’
Celebrating its two-decade landmark, the new Deluxe Edition release boasts the original album, new liner notes, and a bonus disc featuring covers of songs by Bill Withers, Gram Parsons and Van Morrison, a demo and a session recording.
The bonus disc opens with five 20th anniversary versions of five songs from ‘Love Is Here’ that have been specially recorded for the release.
“With the new tracks we didn’t want to simply re-record the same versions so we worked on new arrangements & new sounds,” says Starsailor frontman James Walsh.
“‘Way To Fall’ is much more understated and gentle than the original but it works really well and ‘Good Souls’ evokes the powerful song it’s turned into after numerous big live performances where it’s had to take on a larger life than the subtle studio recording on ‘Love Is Here.’”
