BRIAN MAY – Another World (Deluxe Edition) [Japan 2 x SHM-CD] (2022)

BRIAN MAY‘s very good – and very underrated – second solo album, 1998’s ”Another World”, will be reissued next April 22 as part of the ongoing Brian May Gold Series, a Deluxe Edition with the album remastered and ‘Another Disc’ bonus disc including really juicy material that worth the purchase alone. We have to review the Japanese SHM-CD pressing (thanx to S.B.)
Say Brian; “This, dear Listener, is the second release in my “Brian May Gold Series” reissues. To this album, historically my second solo record, we’ve applied the same loving care that we lavished on ‘Back to the Light’ – repolishing and remastering but using the exact original mixes. Originally delivered 24 years ago, ‘Another World’ is now reborn just as it was originally created.”
The 15-track bonus disc (dubbed ‘Another Disc’) offers various remixes, rarities, original Japanese bonus tracks, live tracks and actually opens with Brian speaking a tribute to drummer Cozy Powell (recorded in ’98) who features on this album, but sadly died in a car crash before it was released.
A rocking, killer album which now blast from the speakers with this powerful remaster handled by the unique Bob Ludwig…

BRIAN MAY – Back To The Light [2-CD Deluxe Remastered Edition] (2021)

BRIAN MAY‘s first solo album, 1992’s Back To The Light (’93 in America), will be reissued in a Deluxe Edition – “Back To The Light [2-CD Deluxe Remastered Edition]” – newly re-mastered by guru Bob Ludwig from the original master tapes and personally overseen by Brian May. The second disc, titled ‘Out Of The Light”, contains alternate versions, B-Sides and live tracks.
Bonus tracks include instrumental versions of ‘Nothin’ but Blue’, ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’ and ‘Just One Life’. ‘Driven by You Two’ is the Ford advert version of ‘Driven by You’ and, there’s a rare take on ‘Driven by You (Cozy and Neil Version ’93)’.
On its initial release in September 1992, the album was an unqualified hit, peaking at No 6 in the UK album charts. Featuring the late Cozy Powell on drums, this album rocks hard with melody.
This reissue shines with its perfect, crystal clear remastered sound…
