Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins

Description

25 years after its original release, the 16th studio album by the pop provocateurs, fully remastered. Originally recorded in November 1994 after an unprecedented six-year hiatus, 'Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins' marked the return to the commercial success that had eluded the band for much of the 80s. Delivering some of their highest chart positions in 15 years and the fan-favorite single When Do I Get To Sing "My Way". Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins were reinvented in a sound and style so typical of the exceptionally extraordinary career of Sparks. 'Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins' is being reissued once again, for the first time, in a deluxe edition to coincide with the 25th anniversary of its release. Compiled, curated and designed by Ron and Russell Mael. All formats feature the remastered original album. The expanded editions include B-sides, live tracks and remixes by Bernard Butler and Vince Clarke. The release also contains 12 previously unreleased demos and 5 unreleased tracks from the Christi Haydon EP, which had never been released. Included are special sleeve notes by Ron and Russell Mael.
