Produced
by Chris Kimsey and originally released on MCA Records in 1986, Urban Beaches
was the debut LP from Cactus World News. Absent from record stores for
many years, it has now been digitally remastered in Dublin by Mary Kettle,
the assistant engineer on the original recording sessions.
Re-released
in 2001 on Red Coral, this new version includes not only the eleven
tracks of the original release, but also contains six bonus tracks
comprising the three tracks from the bands debut EP on Mother Records
as produced by Bono, two B-sides from the early singles, and a radio
session recording done at RTE, the Irish national broadcasters.
In
addition, the expanded version comes with a full-colour, 24-page
booklet featuring extensive new liner notes by the band’s vocalist,
Eoin McEvoy, and (with the honourable exception of the front and
back covers) a set of photographs none of which have ever been published
before.
