Good Things: Edsel Expands Fine Young Cannibals Catalogue

February 6, 2013 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

 

Fine Young CannibalsOur friends at Slicing Up Eyeballs and Super Deluxe Edition have confirmed track lists for Edsel's upcoming reissues of both studio album by U.K. group Fine Young Cannibals.

Along with General Public, Fine Young Cannibals were formed from the ashes of The (English) Beat, with guitarist Andy Cox and bassist David Steele joining forces with singer Roland Gift, whose soulful voice was one of several hundred the bandmates auditioned. A video of lead single "Johnny Come Home" on The Tube, which premiered before the band was even signed, earned FYC a deal with London Records; their self-titled debut in 1985 yielded two U.K. Top 10 hits, "Johnny" and a cover of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" with guest vocals by Jimmy Somerville.

The Raw & The CookedBut it was second, and ultimately final, album, 1988's The Raw & The Cooked, which bought FYC a wider audience across the globe. Featuring polished production by David Z at Prince's Paisley Park Studios (David's brother, Bobby Z, was the drummer in Prince and The Revolution, and David himself was crucial in the production and engineering of Prince's smash hit "Kiss"), The Raw & The Cooked spun off two major MTV-ready hits in "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing," both of which topped the Billboard charts in America.

FYC's success after The Raw & The Cooked was short-lived; they broke up in 1992, and only reunited briefly in 1996 for a greatest hits compilation and new single, "The Flame." These double-disc expansions help keep the FYC flame burning, though, with a handful of non-LP tracks and dozens of remixes bolstering these packages. While hardcore fans will certainly point out omissions - notably, several mixes featured on the 1990 compilation The Raw & The Remix and a non-LP house track released under the name Two Men, a Drum Machine and a Trumpet - there's certainly more to enjoy here than on any previous CD issue.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
