Billy Ocean / Remixes and Rarities 2CD

I always take a keen interest in what Cherry Red do with their occasional ‘Remixes and Rarities’ series, having instigated it back in 2013 with a Paul Young set. This August, the label continue it with a two-CD Billy Ocean compilation.

This 23-track double disc package keeps to the accepted format and includes plenty of remixes of hits like ‘When The Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going)’, ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’ and ‘Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car’. There are 12-inch remixes, dub mixes, instrumental remixes and more. This set also includes ‘European Queen’ and ‘African Queen’ (but not ‘Caribbean Queen’, presumably because it’s not rare!).

All tracks contained within have been “lovingly remastered”, with audio being sourced from the original master tapes “where possible”. This comes with a 16-page booklet with sleeve notes by Justin Kantor.

Billy Ocean’s Remixes and Rarities will be released on 23 August 2019. In my opinion these sets are great value for not much more than a tenner (in the UK, at least).

The sets below were compiled and designed by SDE’s Paul Sinclair:
