Chris Rea’s 1988 compilation, New Light Through Old Windows, will reissued in June. The ‘best of’ was unusual in that Rea re-recorded most of the songs (hence the title) and it also featured a brand new song called ‘Working On It’.
New Light Through Old Windows capitalised on the success of Chris Rea’s previous studio album, 1987’s Dancing With Strangers, which had reached number two in the UK, and the re-recording of ‘On The Beach’ was released as a single, reaching No 12 in the UK. The collection went triple platinum, peaking at No 5 in the UK album charts and paved the way for the massive success of 1989’s The Road to Hell. For this reissue, the compilation has been remastered and is issued on CD and as a 2LP set pressed on recycled black vinyl.
