Everlasting Love: Cherry Red Expands Howard Jones' 'Cross That Line'

July 29, 2020 By The Second Disc Leave a Comment

Cross That Line Deluxe

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Cherry Red's latest reissue in their ongoing Howard Jones campaign is one of the series' most expansive yet, offering a deeper look at the singer/songwriter/synthsmith's fourth LP, Cross That Line.

Released in 1989, Cross That Line found Jones in an introspective, experimental mood. His first mostly self-produced album, it featured meditations on lost relationships ("Last Supper") and extended polemics on power ("Guardians Of The Breath") nestled within its tracks. There were also classic Jones pop songs augmented by strong horn sections ("Cross That Line," "Wanders To You"), strong rhythmic programming ("Powerhouse," a collaboration with Danny D, better known as acid-house hitmaker D-Mob), and even a lush, piano-only instrumental ("Out Of Thin Air").

For the loyal, Jones proffered two dazzling radio hits produced in conjunction with Ross Cullum, Chris Hughes and Ian Stanley (primary producers of Tears For Fears' first two albums and that group's keyboardist for their first few years together): the bubbly "Everlasting Love" (a Billboard adult contemporary chart-topper) and the haunting "The Prisoner," both of which cracked the Top 40 in America. (Perplexingly, the Phil Collins-produced version of "No One Is To Blame," Jones' biggest U.S. hit in 1986, missed the Top 10 in his native England, as did the rest of his singles and albums for the WEA/Elektra labels.)

Fans of the album are in for a treat: Cherry Red's 3CD/1DVD set features the original album alongside a whopping 34 bonus tracks - nearly two dozen of which are being released for the first time - along with a region-free DVD offering three original music videos (including a rare alternate version of "Everlasting Love") and a newly-recorded interview with Howard about the making of the album. The accompanying booklet will also feature new notes by Anil Prasad featuring new commentary by the performer; these notes will also figure into a new LP pressing of Cross That Line on 140-gram silver vinyl.

The expanded Cross That Line is out October 9, and the full track list is below.
