Bananarama celebrate four stunning decades of music with Glorious - The Ultimate Collection - 40 of their best loved tracks, chosen by Sara and Keren themselves.
The collection features two new ultra-modern dance pop tracks, ‘Feel the Love’ and ‘Supernova’ along with deep cuts, fan favourites and global hits such as ‘Cruel Summer’, ‘Venus’, ‘I Heard a Rumour’, ‘Robert De Niro’s Waiting’, and ‘Look on The Floor (Hypnotic Tango)’ and new versions of ‘Movin' On’ [Disco Chic] and ‘Last Thing on My Mind’ [Electrified].
Sara says, “We wanted this to be a unique collection, a celebration of all the twists and turns in our career. We compiled endless lists of songs, album tracks and hit singles and whittled it down to forty: our favourite tracks from the past four decades.”
Keren adds “I feel the collection of songs we have amassed over the last four decades hopefully speak for themselves… Putting the music together for this project... made me realise how much we have achieved.”
This limited edition is pressed on transparent red vinyl (exclusive to this format). The vinyl is accompanied by a sumptuous 60 page hard book. Glorious - the book edition - celebrates four decades of Bananarama through stunning still photography of many of their outfits and memorabilia, rarely seen photographs from the band’s personal archive, an introduction by broadsheet journalist Fiona Sturges and in-depth exploration of Bananarama’s relationship with fashion and music by writer and trends expert Katie Baron. There’s also reflection pieces from Sara and Keren themselves, and full discography of the singles and albums.
The 3xLP and Book come with a presentation slipcase and first orders will also include a hand-signed photo print from Keren and Sara.
This is a one off, 40-year anniversary pressing and will not be repressed.
