Liverpool legend Pete Wylie delivers a raw and emotionally charged collection of recordings on Songs of Strength & Heartbreak

Having risen to fame in the 1980's with The Mighty Wah! and hits like 'Story of The Blues' and 'Sinful', Wylie has grown a strong, cult fanbase over the years with his passionate, anthemic songs of defance and vulnerability paired with biting lyrics.

After hearing the demos, Sony Records subsidiary Columbia signed Pete in the late '90s, spending over a million pounds recording an album, only for it to remain on the shelf and unreleased. Pete eventually got the rights back and released it on Castle Communications in 2000.

However, for this deluxe release, Pete has decided to release the original demos for the world to hear for the frst time and give the million-pound album away as a bonus. The demos include three previously unheard tracks including a stunning cover of Gilbert O'Sullivan's hit 'Alone Again (Naturally)'.

Remastered at AIR Mastering. The format is a gatefold digi-sleeve, including a booklet containing lyrics.

Songs Of Strength & Heartbreak [Deluxe Edition]: 2CD gatefold digi- sleeve with Previously Unreleased Demos album along with Original Album.
