The reissue of Echo and the Bunnymen’s album ”Evergreen” is a particularly interesting one, expanding the original 1997 track listing with the addition of a whole host of contemporary live performances and radio sessions from both sides of the Atlantic.

Other CDs include innovative Brighton alternative folkies Bird in the Belly’s exploration of post apocalyptic Britain, Texan blues vocalist Angela Strehli’s new album and latest from Steve Dawson; (photo: Adobe)
