The Crown Jewels (Ten Crowns Deluxe 4CD Boxset Edition)

[Pughie]

ANDY BELL - 'THE CROWN JEWELS' 4-CD BOXSET COMING IN DECEMBER
The big news from the last newsletter was the December release of a limited-edition expanded 4-CD edition of Andy's 'Ten Crowns' album entitled 'The Crown Jewels', and a huge thank you to those of you who have already pre-ordered your copies (which are currently only available from Lexer Music here and Mute Bank here although we will be confirming more retailers soon) or have said such lovely things about the set. We will be bringing you more information and the tracklistings for each disc very shortly but I did want to mention that the release date for 'The Crown Jewels' has moved a week to 12th December. I also wanted to answer a question that I have been asked a lot since we announced the boxset, and that is whether 'The Crown Jewels' will receive a digital release. The answer to that is that three of the four CDs will be available digitally, but the 'Ten Crowns Live' disc will not be available to stream or download. Stay tuned for more details of the boxset as the final pieces fall into place, and do feel free to pre-order your set from Mute Bank or Lexer Music. Lots more to come..

ANDY BELL: A DIVE INTO THE 'TEN CROWNS REMIXED' DISC FROM THE FORTHCOMING 4-CD ANDY BELL BOXSET 'THE CROWN JEWELS'
Over the next couple of weeks we are going to be revealing more and more of the tracklistings across the four discs on the forthcoming 'The Crown Jewels' boxest, and today we're kicking off with the tracklisting for the 'Ten Crowns Remixed' disc, which looks like this...

Breaking Thru the Interstellar (Dave Audé Remix)
Lies So Deep (Feat. Sarah Potenza) (James Hurr Remix)
Heart’s a Liar (Feat. Debbie Harry) (Dave Audé Disco Remix)
For Today (KNIGHT$ Remix)
Dance for Mercy (Vince Clarke Remix)
Don’t Cha Know (Hifi Sean Cosmic Disco Remix)
Dawn of Heaven’s Gate (Cosmic Gate Remix)
Godspell (Heavy Halo Remix)
Put Your Empathy on Ice (Shiny Toy Guns Remix)
Thank You (Luke Million Remix)

We can't wait for you to hear it (although you can, of course, listen to 'Dance for Mercy (Vince Clarke Remix)' right here right now!) and hope that you will agree that it represents an interesting and intriguing mix of remix artists, some you will know and some of whom you are yet to meet.

'The Crown Jewels' is released as a limited-edition 4-CD boxset on 12th December and you can currently pre-order it from Mute Bank here and from Lexer Music here (and we will have additional retailers on board shortly) which is where you can also view the rather sumptuous artwork because 'The Crown Jewels' is going to be a thing of beauty, packaged in a gold foiled box and coming complete with a 50-page booklet featuring extensive sleeve notes and previously unseen photographs. Thank you those of you who have already placed their pre-orders, and if you haven't let me remind you that you can do that here.

Sadly Aftermath & True Original didn’t make the cut,but great news that ‘Runaway’ did make the cut. No extended Xanadu either.

Xanadu Extended (if you missed it)

They also have some of the Breaking Thru The Interstellar tee shirts that came with the original release bundles.

It's a real shame that Aftermath & True Original couldn't have been added so fans could finally have them physically. Also Xanadu extended is out there so that should have been added too

Looks very nice.

Looks sharp! So happy I decided not to buy the original CD upon release (just listened on iTunes), because I’d just be buying it again with this set. Looking forward to hearing everything!
