TAS Rated 3.5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the February 2019 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 4CD Box Set!
Includes 34 Unreleased Tracks + Postcards & A Poster!
25th anniversary reissue of The Cranberries' landmark debut album, originally released in 1993, that has sold over 5,000,000 in the US and over 600,000 in the UK. They were one of the biggest bands of the nineties and this album includes their global hits "Linger" and "Dreams". The album has been remastered at Abbey Road (under the supervision of the band's Noel Hogan).
The 4CD deluxe box set features 34 previously unreleased tracks including early demos recorded as The Cranberry Saw Us; unheard album sessions produced by Stephen Street including the "lost" Irish language album track "Íosa"; BBC + RTE radio sessions from 1991-1993; and tracks from the band's first ever recorded live show + debut EP, 1991. Also included is a sleeve note detailing the bands rise to fame + postcards and a poster.
"Plans to commemorate Everybody Else were in progress when O'Riordan passed away, so the different reissues focus even more attention on the contribution she made to a band for which she was initially a replacement vocalist. Penning lovelorn lyrics and delivering them with a voice that registered as ethereal at the same time that it rang true emotionally, O'Riordan left such an indelible mark on the Cranberries that it's impossible to imagine the group without her. Clearly the reissue is marked with sadness, but the music lingers." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, February 2019
