Bananarama | 2xCD | Viva

Description: Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Bananarama's tenth studio album, 2009's Viva, remains their most electro sounding collection to date. It was a collaboration with celebrated producer, composer, songwriter and remixer Ian Masterson, whose credits include work with Girls Aloud, Kylie Minogue and the Pet Shop Boys. His instinctive grasp of Bananarama's sound, spirit and energy resulted in some monumental feel-good pop-dance music. The album is a veritable masterclass in melodic, upbeat pop. It was also the album on which Sara and Keren both started to play bass guitar again after a 17 year break! Viva originated as a discofied cover versions album, but Sara and Keren changed their minds on this approach half way through recording, in response to their, then, record company actively preferring their original compositions to the array of disco styled cover versions. Just three of these originally chosen cover versions made it through to the final track listing of Viva. Four additional cover version rarities, originally made available as either bonus 'download only' album tracks or as B-sides on the related singles, have also been included in this deluxe expanded edition. This expanded edition of Viva also includes all the commercially available remixes, and edits thereof, that were released across the various formats of both of the album's two singles; 'Love Comes' and 'Love Don't Live Here'. This release comes with a richly illustrated 20 page booklet including an introductory message from Sara and Keren.
