Released on 10 July, the Deluxe Edition will feature a remastered version the original album, plus a series of extra tracks and remixes, and will be available on double vinyl, CD and digitally.
For the first time ever, the 13-track version of the album which was created for the then brand new CD format on the record’s release in June 1985, will be pressed on vinyl.
Overseen by Green Gartside, this running order has been remastered by Chris Athens, who has also worked with the likes of Drake and Beastie Boys.
In addition, three extra tracks have been selected from the Scritti Politti archive and will be released for the first time ever with this edition.
Perfect Way (Version), Lover To Fall (12″ Dance Mix) and Perfect Way (Perfect Way Mix) offer an insight into Scritti Politti’s creative processes at the time of the album’s creation and highlight the band’s embracement of music and culture beyond the indie scene from which they emerged from at the start of the 1980s.
Green alongside David Gamson, who joined Scritti Politti ahead of making Cupid & Psyche 85 and helped to create the album, have both contributed to the sleeve notes for this release.
