Nineteen years after calling it quits, chilly UK post-punk crew Cabaret Voltaire are about to highlight some finer points from their career via a new reissue series. A press release confirms that the Sheffield outfit’s third LP, 1981′s Red Mecca, will be offered up on wax via Mute on July 22. The record was originally served up through Rough Trade, but Mute released a CD edition in 1990.
Mute will also issue a box set titled #8385 (Collected Works 1983-1985) sometime in the fall. It will include “classic mid-period releases” The Crackdown (1983), Micro-Phonies (1984), Drinking Gasoline (1985), and The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord (1985), as well as bonus cuts, B-sides, remixes, and two DVDs.
You can pre-order the set here.
In 2014, they’ll issue another box set called #7885 (Electro Punk to Techno Pop 1978-1985).
