• Track Listing

Limited six CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD. First ever deluxe expanded edition of Marc Almond's landmark seventh studio album. Originally released in 1991, this collaboration with Trevor Horn yielded three Top 40 UK hits! Exclusive to this boxed edition are four unique CDs adding to a total 76 audio tracks, 34 of them never previously having been commercially released. Plus a DVD that showcases all three promo videos and Marc Almond's five contemporaneous BBC TV appearances. The actual Trevor Horn produced 'Tenement Symphony' sequence opens CD1 as was his original intention, with the dramatic statement of the orchestral 'Prelude' as a precursor to the intoxicating energy of lead hit single, 'Jacky', as written by Jacques Brel.. CD2 collates the officially released remixes, extended versions, lesser heard 7" version variants of the album's singles and more! Tracks worth singling out are Marc's joyous cover version of Madonna's 'Like A Prayer', a previously unheard John Coxon 12" Mix of 'My Hand Over My Heart' and the 7" edit of the shelved 4th single from the album, 'What Is Love?' Further insights into the repertoire that made up the 'Tenement Symphony' album project are contained in the exclusive four CDs that follow the development of the album's songs through the inclusion of early versions, demos, variant mixes, backing tracks and live renditions including multiple unheard remixes of unreleased singles 'What Is Love?' and 'Beautiful Brutal Thing' and the unissued Phil Harding and Ian Curnow Remix of 'Jacky'. The package also contains a 32-page booklet full of lyrics, photos and listening notes and a fold out poster.
