Like to Get to Know You Well: Howard Jones Plans BBC Box with Cherry Red

October 5, 2021 By The Second Disc 1 Comment

Howard Jones At The BBC

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Howard Jones may have issued deluxe editions of all his WEA albums with Cherry Red (who now own the recordings outright), but he's not done archiving his works with the label. They'll issue a 5CD box set of the keyboardist's BBC recordings this fall.

Howard Jones At The BBC offers a treasure trove of rare and unreleased recordings taped by the national radio between 1983 and 1987. Aside from a handful of B-sides and bonus material - including a long out-of-print box set of Howard's first two albums that came with a live bonus disc in 2010 - all of this is being heard for the first time since they were broadcast.

Highlights include four sets of live-in-studio sessions: two for Kid Jensen in 1983 (the latter being the contents of Jones' "White Tape" demo, reproduced for a Human's Lib box set and featuring an extra track, "What Can I Say," sourced from the original master tape for the first time) and two for Janice Long in 1985 and 1987. Then there are four live concerts represented between 1983 and 1985, including disc-long presentations at the Royal Albert Hall and the Manchester Apollo.

"This set is a really valuable, historical document," Jones says in conversation with writer Anil Prasad, which will make up the bulk of the 16-page liner notes booklet. "You hear me before the first album was released, after I've had success, my evolution from a solo performer to a band-focused performer, and all of it happened across only four years...There's so much variety in the sessions, even among songs that appear multiple times."

Howard Jones At The BBC will be packaged in a clamshell box and will be released November 26. Check out the full track list, release notes and order links below!
