Am 10.04.2026 erscheint eine Deluxe Edition von 24 Years of Hunger bei SDE.
SDE Records is proud to present a 35th anniversary deluxe reissue of the ‘lost’ cult classic album 24 Years Of Hunger by Eg and Alice. The 2CD set features the original CD running order as well as eight unheard tracks, early demos, two B-sides and three remixes.
In 1991 duo Eg and Alice released 24 Years of Hunger, their only album, on Warner Music (WEA). The album was very well received critically at the time (Q Magazine gave it four stars, praising its „curiously unforgettable songs“ and later saying it had „the class of Steely Dan and the intriguing detachment of the Blue Nile“) but sadly it came and went in the blink of an eye. Its two singles made little impact commercially after which Alice Temple left. It was over.
Eg stayed with the label and issued a solo album in 1996, but later pursued a very successful career as a songwriter and producer, crafting songs for others including Will Young’s UK No 1 ‚Leave Right Now‘. White also co-wrote and produced James Morrison’s top 5 hit ‚You Give Me Something‘, Adele’s ‚Chasing Pavements‘, and many others. To date, he’s won three Ivor Novello Awards and has a few Grammy nominations for his songwriting.
