2CD Deluxe Reissue Edition! Crowded House celebrate 30 years in 2016, heralding an unprecedented re-issue program spanning their entire career, unlocking a wealth of rare material – personally selected by Neil Finn. 'Crowded House' is the self-titled debut album by the band Crowded House. It was released in 1986 and produced by Mitchell Froom. The album was the first to feature band-leader Neil Finn following the break-up of his previous group Split Enz. The 'Crowded House' Deluxe edition sees the original 11 track album expanded to 28 tracks. The 36 page booklet boasts lyrics, rare photos, newly commissioned liner notes from long-time fanclub president Peter Green and new interviews with Neil Finn and Nick Seymour. 'Crowded House' featured the singles "Mean To Me," "Something So Strong" and of course "Don't Dream It's Over."  Each of Crowded House's six studio albums (and 1999's rarities album 'Afterglow') are now available as deluxe editions. Each body of work is expanded to include previously unreleased studio recordings, home demos, live tracks, b-sides and other rarities. The albums will be presented in 'fan-deluxe' format (slipcase, 4 panel flexitray), housing the discs and a beautiful 36 page book. The original album audio is sourced from the highest resolution transfer from the original tapes by Abbey Rd and extra tracks mastered from a variety of sources (stereo cassettes, 4-track cassettes, ¼” 8-track tapes, ¼” stereo tapes, ½” stereo tapes, 2-inch 24-track tapes, Hi-8 8-track video cassettes, DATs, CD-Rs and digital audio files) by acclaimed mastering engineer Don Bartley (Benchmark Mastering).
