The Chameleons reissuing 1985’s ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically’ with 10 bonus demos

The Chameleons, 'What Does Anything Mean? Basically' Collectors Edition

Influential U.K. post-punk act The Chameleons are reissuing their  out-of-print 1985 sophomore album What Does Anything Mean? Basically this fall in an expanded 2CD set featuring 10 previously unreleased demo recordings.

Although the band hasn’t revealed the tracklist, the remastered album is due out in “mid-November” via Blue Apple Music — which released last year’s 25th anniversary expanded reissue of Script of the Bridge — and the iTunes Music Store, and will be available through “all leading retailers” in January.

Like that Script of the Bridge set, the new What Does Anything Mean? Basically will feature new artwork by guitarist Reg Smithies based on the album’s original cover design.

Order the album here through Blue Apple Music.
