Back 'In the Running': Next Howard Jones Reissue Coming from Cherry Red in April

April 16, 2021 By The Second Disc Leave a Comment

In the Running

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Cherry Red's ongoing Howard Jones reissue campaign hits its next marker on April 30, with an expanded CD/DVD and vinyl reissue planned for In the Running, Jones' fifth album and final release for a major label.

In the Running continued the artistic and commercial trends that had been a part of Jones' career since 1989's Cross That Line sold modestly outside of the U.S. Top 20 hit "Everlasting Love." With a new decade in full bloom, Jones consciously moved away from the densest electronics of his '80s work into more "organic" sounding soft-rock. Along for the ride were a host of killer session players and guest musicians, including producer Ross Cullum, keyboardist Ian Stanley and drummer Chris Hughes (all former Tears for Fears collaborators who'd also worked on Cross That Line); guitars by Midge Ure, Robbie McIntosh (Pretenders, Paul McCartney) and Neil Taylor (Tears for Fears, Robbie Williams); percussion by Big Country's Mark Brzezicki and even some arrangements by Clare Fischer, known for his orchestral charts through Prince's discography.

Unfortunately, In the Running failed to chart on either side of the Atlantic, with lead single "Lift Me Up" becoming only a modest Top 40 hit in America. A year later, he wrapped up his career with Elektra/WEA with a best-of that featured a newly-recorded cover of Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y."; from there, Jones founded his own label, Dtox, and began releasing music independently.

Cherry Red's expansion of In the Running casts considerable light on the album, offering 34 bonus tracks across three CDs. The original album is expanded with a host of B-sides (including "I.G.Y.") and an unreleased single edit of "One Last Try." Disc 2 includes an instrumental version of the record (with some TV mixes of extra tracks), while the third disc features a host of extremely rare and unreleased tracks from the In the Running era. This includes the Umberto Tozzi-penned "Other People Are Us" and its original B-side "Don't Be Part of It," released as a single in Italy in 1991; a cover of David Ackles' "Road to Cairo," issued on a tribute album to the Elektra label in 1990; and rare and unreleased remixes, including a new version of Jones' 1983 smash "What is Love?" that was prepared (but not used) for his greatest hits album.

The package is rounded out with a DVD featuring Jones' reflections and track-by-track commentary plus a host of music videos, plus a 16-page liner notes booklet. Those liner notes will be available in a new 140-gram LP reissue, pressed on clear vinyl and available the same date.
