Stumbled across this recently. I'm really excited about this and the fact that Dave Stewart is going to be directly involved. I love all their stuff. Annie's voice is just sooo incredible. I think this is long over due.

SonyBMG confirm their most extensive album reissue campaign to date.

Fans of 80's hitmakers the Eurythmics will no doubt be having sweet dreams tonight, with news of the re-release of all eight of the seminal bands studio albums, as well as a forthcoming hits collection.

Each of the eight studio albums - 1981's "In The Garden", 1983's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These), 1983's "Touch", 1985's "Be Yourself Tonight", 1986's "Revenge", 1988's "Revenge", 89's "We Too Are One" and 1999's "Peace" - are set to drop November 14, the same day as their new greatest hits package "Eurythmics Ultimate Collection", which will include the brand new single "I've Got A Life" and "Was It Just Another Love Affair?".

Each re-mastered album (which was overseen by Dave Stewart) will include, on average, 4-7 bonus tracks - including one previously unreleased cover version. All eight albums will also be available as a special box set. 1983's 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' album features a rare cover of Lou Reed's 'Satellite of Love', while 1983's 'Touch' album includes a previously unreleased version of David Bowie's 'Fame', and 1988's 'Savage' includes a moving rendition of The Beatles 'Come Together'.

Eurythmics have notched over 75 million in record sales, making them the UK's most successful duo ever.



I thought she did a great job at Live8 too - what a voice!
I thought she did a great job on the closing credits of Return of the King!
She was pretty darn impressive when she opened for Sting this year! Better than he was, unfortunately.
I picked up her "Live in Central Park" DVD at Costco for 9.99 it is excellent. It was her return to the stage after 6 years away from live performing. I was hesitant but because of the price I figured what do I have to lose? I'm very glad I picked it up because I haven't seen it there since. If you see it, grab it! I wanted to see the Sting/Lennox double bill but I reacted to slowly. Tickets sold out very fast here in Atlanta. I'm surprised Sting was a disappointment. I have seen him a couple of times and really enjoyed the show.

Likewise, but I dunno... maybe I was just in a crummy mood that night, but it just seemed to lack something. I'm also not overly fond of his new album. A little low on substance (and poorly mastered to boot). But hey, I'll see him again. After all, it's Sting!
