12 Inch Versions & Remixes - Vol. 2

Following the success of ‘The 12 Inch Mixes Vol. 1’, this collection continues to explore the singles catalogue of Australian megaband ICEHOUSE. Officially sanctioned by ICEHOUSE mainman Iva Davies. Their worldwide releases includes many now hard-to-find mixes and different versions of songs, now presented here all together on one album for the first time. The second disc of the 2CD set cherry-picks the 1994 Australia-only remix CD ‘Full Circle’. ‘Desdemona’ is a cover version of the John's Children single composed by Marc Bolan. Includes two versions of worldwide hit ‘Hey Little Girl’ from a 1997 German remix project, and a third ‘dub’ from a 1983 B-side. Features contributions from 808 State, keyboardist Bernie Worrell (Parliament-Funkadelic) and sometime Guns N’Roses guitarist Buckethead. ICEHOUSE are currently active again and have 2013 dates planned. Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected author and journalist Michael Heatley (‘Record Collector’ / ‘Guitar & Bass’). Expertly remastered. Superb sound – the best in the business!
