Thompson Twins are to release a new compilation, Industry And Seduction: A Thompson Twins Collection, in October. It’s the first ‘Best Of’ to be approved by the band, with Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie selecting the tracklisting and Joe Leeway designing the artwork, with Currie.Tracklist:
In limited edition deluxe 3CD form, the compilation includes 40 songs from all eras of the band, including Bailey and Currie’s final albums when they changed their name to Babble before splitting in 1998. The first CD – remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road – features 20 of their best-known tracks, while CD2 comprises 20 of their own favourite songs, including the B-sides ‘Passion Planet’ and ‘Beach Culture’, as well as their cover of Cole Porter’s ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ from 1990’s Red, Hot And Blue Aids charity compilation.
Industry And Seduction is also available in single CD and 2LP coloured vinyl editions, which both replicate the 20 songs from CD1 of the 3CD. The package also includes sleevenotes (by this writer), with Bailey and Currie’s full 6,000-word new interviews discussing their whole career in the 3CD set or a 1,500-word cut-down interview in the single CD.
The compilation was first mooted when Bailey and Currie discussed the 40th anniversary reissue of Into The Gap in January with SDE. There have been many previous compilations, including ones in 1990 and 2003, none of which Thompson Twins oversaw.
While the band didn’t oversee 1990’s Greatest Hits, the new compilation includes a song first released on that hits set, ‘Roll Over’, which is from the original self-produced sessions in Paris for what became Here’s To Future Days, before Nile Rodgers produced the eventually released version of Here’s To Future Days in New York.
