new CD on September 16?

Post by Chris »

I don't know if anyone else had seen it, but I just came across an information on an Italian multimedia webpage IBS that a new CD by Chris Rea is to be released on September 16, 2020. It will be titled "Era 1" and priced at 22,90 Euro. No further information was provided. I wonder what could it be. A new material, perhaps?
Best regards to all,
Chris

It’s a set of A’s B’s and rarities...three discs covering 1978-1984. Cover pic on amazon but can’t read the tracklist.

Thank you for pointing it out. I've seen the pictures on Amazon and the tracklists are not readable, indeed. But let them surprise us, right?

Not all rarities by the look of it...a sides and b sides from all singles of that era so some “standard” songs but hopefully all the remixes and non album b sides too.

Quite late if they want good Christmas sales (physical), but I guess they don’t have great expectations for this set anyway.

It will interesting to o see if they have got Chris lined up for any promotional work, even if only print interviews.

I think it's Warners, so no Chris.
And the 2nd D has a lot of "new" material from the CD 'One Fine Day'.
I have the feeling they're testing if anyone is interested.
If not, I think it will just "go away". What are you're thoughts?

I think it would suit both parties if it sells more, and it will sell more if Chris does an interview...if he is healthy enough to do so. They had the YouTube video interviews for the deluxe releases last year, so there is some level of cooperation between Chris and Warner/Rhino.
I would be surprised if it disappeared at this stage, but of course it’s possible.

So far Italy is the only country that promotes the CD's.Which I think is odd.
In August the release was in September, than it went to October, now it's set on the end of November....
He sold the other CD's in his official store, haven't seen this one anywhere else as on Italian sites.

They keep pushing the release date back :?
I suppose it will be worth the wait.
It is now mentioned on superdeluxeedition website so at least it is getting some promo.
