Howard Jones: Celebrate It Together - The Very Best Of Howard Jones 1983-2023, 2CD Edition

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of his recorded music career, Cherry Red is both proud and delighted to release a brand new ‘Very Best Of’ compilation to mark this momentous occasion.

For his 40th anniversary, Howard wanted to create a truly unique collection. ‘Celebrate It Together The Very Best Of Howard Jones 1983-2023’ is the first anthology that looks at his entire catalogue, from the original version of “New Song,” all the way to a 2023 Elephant Talk remix of it that recasts it within a modern electronica context.

It includes songs from his classic Warner-era catalogue, as well as work from his independent Dtox label.

For ‘Celebrate It Together’, Howard has personally chosen to group the songs into four categories: “Popular Hits,” “Electro,” “Chill,” and “Curiosities.” He wanted to elevate this selection of songs beyond the typical chronological approach and create themes that mix and match different pieces from different eras, with the overall listening experience top of mind.

Released on three different formats, this deluxe 2CD digipack contains 35 remastered tracks.

* Featuring a comprehensive collection of hit singles, remixes, key album tracks, alternative and live versions.

* Packaged in a deluxe digipack featuring brand new photos of Howard.

* Includes a previously unreleased track and a further 3 tracks previously unreleased on CD.

* 12 page fully illustrated booklet containing brand new photos plus a brand new sleevenote where Howard in conversation with Anil Prasad reflects upon the 40 years of his recorded music career.
