FALCO - Wiener Blut (Deluxe Edition) FALCO

2CD - Deluxe Edition. Digipack with 12-Page Booklet. Remastered Audio from the Original Master Tapes.

Falco’s fifth and six albums, Wiener Blut and Data De Groove, will be reissued as two-CD deluxe editions and coloured vinyl pressings in April.

Wiener Blut was originally released in August 1988 - the album achieved chart success in German-speaking countries (Top 10 in Germany, #2 in Austria). The initial plan had been to record the songs on the new album with a new production team and with a new musical direction (more melodic and commercial). But in the end only four songs were ultimately used from these sessions. Returning to his former setup with the Bolland brothers, Falco then produced another six tracks – and in addition to the Bolland recordings a cover version of the Steely Dan hit “Do It Again”. Deluxe double CD version with extra versions, mixes and edits of several album tracks.

Both albums are now reissued as expanded two CD deluxe editions with all audio taken from the original master tapes. Blank and Jones have worked on these reissues and were delighted to track down the elusive original master tapes of the Shep Pettibone mixes of ‘Do It Again’, all versions of which are all included on the reissue. Amongst all the mixes on CD are two previously unreleased versions of ‘Satellite to Satellite’.
