Fun Boy Three – The Complete Fun Boy Three Deluxe Set
Fun Boy Three enjoyed two years of success in the early 1980s and this output is now brought together in one deluxe edition called The Complete Fun Boy Three.
The band formed in the summer of 1981 when Terry Hall, Lynval Golding and Neville Staples broke away from The Specials. They went on to enjoy seven UK top 20 hit singles (two with Bananarama) and released two albums (The Fun Boy Three (1982) and Waiting (1983), the latter produced by David Byrne. The group disbanded in 1983.
The Complete Fun Boy Three includes 69 audio tracks (across five CDs) which brings together all the official recordings (albums/singles/b-sides/remixes/live and previously unreleased outtakes). The 27 track DVD (region 0 /NTSC) includes all their promo videos, Top of The Pops performances and a live concert from 1983.
This is packaged in a DVD-sized casebound book, with newly written sleeves notes by SDE contributor John Earls with contributions from the band and photographs.
Both albums are also reissued on vinyl (like the CD set newly remastered) and are pressed on red and blue vinyl respectively. A newly remastered version of their classic 1984 ‘best of’ is also available on 180g green vinyl.
