The two albums from short-lived chart toppers Fine Young Cannibals — comprised of singer Roland Gift and former English Beat members Andy Cox and David Steele — will be reissued later this month by Demon Music Group’s Edsel imprint as expanded 2CD sets featuring bonus B-sides, remixes and non-album tracks.
The reissues of 1985’s Fine Young Cannibals and 1988’s The Raw & The Cooked are due out Feb. 18 in the U.K. after originally being scheduled for release last fall.
According to Super Deluxe Edition, FYC’s first album features three bonus tracks on the first disc and a second disc featuring nine remixes of “Johnny Come Home” and “Suspicious Minds.” The band’s smash second album features 20 bonus tracks, including remixes of hits “She Drives Me Crazy” and “Good Thing,” as well as the extra songs recorded for 1996 best-of The Finest.

Nice!!! Those fantastic Beat reissues last year and now these! Let’s give General Public the deluxe treatment next!
God, how I wish there was more material out there (like another album or so) by these guys. Dug both albums out a few days ago, and they really, really hold up. Has me yearning for ANYTHING that sounds similar (and I’m coming up empty).
oh yes so when on for General Public reissued ?
