Expanded version of Tracey Thorn's debut "A Distant Shore" due in October

The remastered version of Tracey Thorn's brilliantly understated 1982 debut adds five unheard demos from the period! 

Here's the scoop from Tracey...

"Music news! There will be a deluxe reissue of this little beauty in October, on vinyl and CD. Remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Rd, it includes a new set of sleeve notes written by me, PLUS five previously unheard solo demos recorded in 1982/3."

You can pre-order the expanded version of Tracey Thorn's "A Distant Shore" on CD or LP (scheduled for release on October 25th) directly from Cherry Red Records UK right here. Wisely enough, they preserved Jane Fox's perfectly suited cover illustration. Have a listen to two tracks from the album below.
