Bryan Ferry is revisiting his 1994 album Mamouna with a deluxe reissue that drops November 17th. A new vinyl pressing of the LP isn’t all the package has to offer, however: it also comes with a disc of early Sketches of the record’s songs, as well as a second, previously unreleased album from the era.
Cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios, Disc 1 in the Mamouna reissue offers the original album, mastered by Bob Ludwig. Next is Horoscope, an album of additional songs that Ferry began writing in 1989 on the way to releasing Mamouna. In addition to original solo music from the artist, the eight-track project features a 10-minute version of Roxy Music’s 1973 song “Mother of Pearl.”
Finally, the reissue features Sketches, or early versions of Mamouna songs recorded between 1989 and 1993. The disc features instrumental versions of tracks like “Your Painted Smile,” “NYC/Desdemona,” and “Loop De Li,” while other recordings offer little more than Ferry’s voice and a piano.
The Mamouna reissue is available in 2xLP and 3xCD formats. Pre-orders are ongoing. As a preview, Ferry has shared the remastered version of “Your Painted Smile,” as well as an instrumental first draft of the song dating back to 1989. Check out both renditions below.
Last year, Ferry released Love Letters, an EP comprising interpretations of love songs previously performed by Dusty Springfield, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole.
