## Bridge of Spies. So much more than a Tom Hanks movie.

T’Pau – Bridge of Spies CD + DVD Box Set

**Carol Decker** and **T’pau** have been experiencing something of a renaissance in recent years following the success of their 25th anniversary tour and new album *Pleasure and Pain* released earlier this year.

This multi-disc re-mastered release of their multi-platinum selling debut outing can only ensure that they remain in our conscience for a little whole longer yet. Including the original album in full, all the big hitters are here, most notably *China in Your Hand*, *Heart and Soul*, and *Valentine*, but also the often radio neglected but equally magnificent *I Will Be With You* and the studio version of *Sex Talk* a live recording of which just missed the top 20 in spring 1988.

For those of you who remember the original, the re-mastered release pulls out a few surprise trills and tricks which may have escaped you almost thirty years ago, and if you’re new to the album it doesn’t disappoint with the title track and *Thank You For Goodby*e surely contenders at the time for single releases themselves.

As with most deluxe packages there are remixes and 12” versions a plenty, along with a rack of non-album tracks previously unreleased on any album format, the best of which *Giving My Love Away*, could easily have sat amongst the original album set. All the videos for the singles are included, remastered and digitised, as is their Hammersmith Odeon gig from the massively successful 1/5th Tour now available on DVD for the first time.

Buy it for your loved one, your adopted teenager or just yourself. All beautifully presented in a hard-back book style cover, you’ll love it. Here’s hoping *Rage* and *The Promise* will get the same treatment.

Carol Decker and T’Pau tour the UK as part of their acoustic *Songs & Stories* Tour from January 30 through to April 23\. They play Shoreham Rope Tackle Arts Centre on February 6 and The Royal Vauxhall Tavern on April 14.
