Where It Is - Special Edition

Although more renowned as a 90s dance / electronica pop act, with hits like "Sweet Harmony," "Hello," and "The Sun Rising," The Beloved began in the mid-80s as a 4-piece guitar-based band. Two John Peel Sessions in 1985 were followed by four independent singles on the now-defunct Flim Flam label. Their debut album Where It Is was a compilation of these initially released as a vinyl LP in October 1987.

The album was then released on CD in 1988 as an expanded edition, which now sells in excess of £100 on ‘Discogs’. Step forward to 2020. All the audio has been remastered from the original analogue tapes, by John Davis at Metropolis Studios, and is reissued with a 2nd disc containing previously unreleased demo tracks.

CD1 is as per the original CD album with the addition of 3 tracks released on singles but not included on the CD, "Saints Preserve Us," "Having Fun," and the Stephen Street remix of "Forever Dancing." It now comprises a virtual facsimile of all released singles. CD2 comprises 16 tracks. Three were previously available on a limited edition 7" with the vinyl album of Where It Is, two were alternate versions of songs on CD1 (from the original vinyl single releases), and there is a 7" version of "Forever Dancing." The remaining 10 tracks are completely unheard / unreleased demos from 1983-1987.
