PAUL RUTHERFORD - OH WORLD 2011 RE-ISSUE

An expanded 2CD reissue of the only solo album to date from Paul Rutherford, former Frankie Goes To Hollywood singer and icon of 80s pop. This lost classic was originally released in 1989 in Europe and America,however this is the first time the album has been available in the UK. Tracks Include much sought-after early remixes by the likes of Arthur Baker and David Morales. Lead track is the acid house anthem Get Real, which - like Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax - received an airplay ban from the BBC. Three tracks - including a beautiful cover of Chic's I Want Your Love - are co-written and produced by Martin Fry and Mark White a/k/a ABC, 17 bonus tracks include all the A-side mixes, B-sides, 12" remixes and promo-only tracks - many of which appear on CD for the first time. This reissue arrives at the height of a Frankie Goes To Hollywood revival with recent deluxe expansions of Welcome To The Pleasuredome (August 2010) and Liverpool (February 2011), a reissue of Paul's 90s work - The Cowboy Years via iTunes January 2011)[see post from 26 May 2011], and a duet between Paul and Claudia Brucken on her new album Combined (February 2011).
