The first incarnation of Bronski Beat unfolded over a short but sweet period from April 1984 with ‘Smalltown Boy’, ending in September 1985 with their post-split remix album ‘Hundreds And Thousands’.
With a nod to the original ‘Hundreds And Thousands’ and following on from last year’s 40th Anniversary editions of ‘The Age of Consent’, London Records announce an all-new Bronski Beat album - ‘Forbidden Fruit - The Age Of Consent Remixed’.
The album features new reworks from the likes of Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Erasure), Kinky Roland (Boy George, Marc Almond) and more, alongside exclusive extended versions of the 2024 remixes by Superchumbo (ft Neil Tennant) and The Knocks (ft Perfume Genius).
Traversing electronic dystopia, Italo-disco, NRG, sultry jazz and more, ‘Forbidden Fruit’ makes for a fitting finale to ‘The Age of Consent’.
The CD version contains a further four tracks, including an extended remix of ‘No More War’, the much sought after Promo Dub of ‘I Feel Love’ and a new version of their first ever song, a reworking of ‘Screaming’.
All versions are unreleased and appear on CD and / or vinyl for the very first time.
Six-panel digipack CD in matt laminate cover with spot UV gloss.
140g black vinyl with printed inner in matt laminate cover with spot UV gloss.
