Gene / 2CD reissues on the way

Edsel Records will reissue all five of the official studio albums by UK Britpop era band Gene in January 2014.

The albums have all been remastered and these reissues are being issued as two-CD sets, with a large selection of bonus tracks added, including BBC radio sessions and unreleased live performances (see full track listing below). These deluxe editions will be presented in the now familiar casebound book packaging.

Gene were signed to Polydor Records and enjoyed a fair amount of success in the mid-to-late nineties with three top twenty albums, before their popularity waned towards the turn of the millennium. They disbanded in 2004.

All five albums Olympian (1995), To See The Lights (1996), Drawn To The Deep End (1997), Revelations (1999) and Libertine (2001) will be issued on 27 January 2014.
