Fine Young Cannibals
' first, eponymous album, originally released in 1985, remastered for the very first time with
Roland Gift
's involvement. Includes the hits "Johnny Come Home", "Suspicious Minds". Includes 29 bonus rare/unreleased tracks -- B sides, live renditions including BBC session recorded with
John Peel
and
Janice Long
, and remixes with versions by
Mousse T Cocktail
,
Derrick Carter
, and
Mark Moore
. Double-CD version comes in six-page digipack; includes 12-page booklet.
"When
Dave Wakeling
and
Ranking Roger
split from the rest of the English Beat to form
General Public
,
Andy Cox
and
Dave Steele
originally advertised on MTV for a new lead singer for the
Beat
. When that didn't pan out (although it did work for
Wall of Voodoo
), Cox and Steele hooked up with the unique and soulful singer Roland Gift and formed the Fine Young Cannibals. Though the trio first hit the mass U.S. consciousness with 1989's electronic dance-pop
The Raw and the Cooked
, their 1985 debut was a soul-jazz pop charmer that's more low-key but every bit as entertaining. Along the lines of early
Everything But the Girl
(the two groups share a producer,
Robin Millar
) with a heavier Motown influence, the songs on Fine Young Cannibals are uniformly strong. The singles 'Johnny Come Home' (a plea to a runaway that sounds like the Beat's ska stripped down to its tense and obsessive essentials) and 'Blue' (one of the more oblique and successful anti-
Margaret Thatcher
tracks of its era) are terrific, but album tracks like the casually devastating 'Funny How Love Is' and the manic 'Like a Stranger' (which incongruously ends with a female chorus shrieking 'You've been too long in an institution!' repeatedly while Gift tries out his
Otis Redding
impression) are even better. The album's highlight, though, is a reworking of 'Suspicious Minds' (with scarifying backing vocals by
Jimmy Somerville
) that, while it doesn't replace
Elvis
' version, certainly takes the song into an interesting new direction. Although often overlooked, especially in the U.S., in the wake of their massively successful follow-up,
Fine Young Cannibals
is a powerful and satisfying debut." --
