The Communards sophomore album Red consolidated thegenius of the musical partnership between Bronski Beat singer Jimmy Somerville and pianist Richard Coles. The Communards straddled pop and the political, fusing synths and hiNRG production with lush string and horn arrangements to the political unrest and moral panic of late 80s Britain. A global smash upon its release, this remastered and expanded edition features Bsides and 3 remixes, including the Jalapeo mix of Theres More to Love by Clivilles amp Cole better known as CampC Music Factory and new liner notes from Owen Jones.
