Crowded House - Crowded House (Deluxe Edition) (1986/2016)

Crowded House‘s 1986 debut spawned the anthemic single Don’t Dream It’s Over, which reached number two on the US charts the following year. This sucess was consolidated with a further Stateside top ten hit, Something So Strong. The album will be reissued in November – along with the rest of the catalogue – as a 2CD deluxe edition and a new 180g vinyl pressing.

The new two-CD deluxe features a bonus disc full of home demos, including most of the tracks on the album and, curiously, Walking On The Spot which eventually found a place on 1993’s Together Alone
