British boy band Take That attained considerable success throughout Europe in the early '90s. Sony Music U.K. will celebrate Nobody Else, the album that briefly made them international hitmakers, with a new deluxe edition this summer.

The double-disc reissue of Nobody Else pairs the original album alongside eight bonus tracks, including the rare Japanese bonus track "All That Matters to Me," a cover of the Bee Gees' "How Deep is Your Love" that served as their last work for nearly a decade, a new remix of album cut "Hanging Onto Your Love" by group member Howard Donald, vintage live B-sides and more. It'll be available on 2CD or 2LP marbled orange vinyl, making its debut on the latter format; a new pressing of the original album will also be available on black vinyl (or pink, if ordering through the group's web store).

Unlike American groups like New Kids on the Block, whom they were modeled on, Take That were unique in writing their own material - most of it from the pen of singer/songwriter Gary Barlow, the quintet's primary vocalist. (The members also included Howard Donald, an aspiring DJ; dancer Jason Orange; Mark Owen and a 16-year-old vocalist named Robbie Williams.) Equally adept at dance-pop and adult contemporary-friendly balladry, Take That would score three U.K. Top 10s in 1992 including a Barlow original ("A Million Love Songs") and two covers (Tavares' "It Only Takes a Minute" and Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic"). Sophomore album Everything Changes would do even better, yielding an incredible four British No. 1s (originals "Pray," "Babe" and "Everything Changes," plus a duet on Dan Hartman's "Relight My Fire" with U.K. singer Lulu) and a further two Top 5s. With New Kids' popularity on a downward slide by the mid-'90s, it seemed that American audiences might not be ready for Take That, even as they started winning at the BRIT Awards (with Barlow even picking up an Ivor Novello Award for his songwriting). That all changed with Nobody Else, a more sensitive, measured and mature affair than what one might associate with the teen pop genre. Its debut single "Sure" scored another U.K. No. 1, as did the intoxicating "Back for Good" - but sure enough, the song crossed over into the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 7.

Inevitably, as Take That were on top of the world, things started to fall apart. Williams, who openly enjoyed the trappings of fame, was given an ultimatum to commit more time to the band and chose to leave just months after the album was released. Even with a third No. 1 single at home, the Donald-sung "Never Forget," by year's end the group elected to quit while they were on top, bidding farewell (a move that saw a spike in counseling hotline calls from young teens) with one last chart-topper - a cover of the Bee Gees' "How Deep is Your Love" - and a greatest hits album. The quartet would reunite 10 years after Nobody Else was released, reclaiming their blockbuster status through the rest of the decade. Williams, who embarked on a critically and commercially successful solo career in the late '90s that reached everywhere but America (recently depicted in the striking 2024 biopic Better Man, in which Williams is portrayed as a computer-created anthropomorphic chimpanzee among a human cast) would help the band's popularity go nuclear again in 2010 after rejoining the group for an album and tour. He and Orange both left in 2014, and Barlow, Donald and Owen continue as a trio, having released their ninth album This Life in 2023.
