Huey Lewis & The News / Sports 30th Anniversary Edition

Huey Lewis & The News / Sports 30th Anniversary

Huey Lewis & The News‘ 1983 album Sports will be reissued as a newly remastered two-CD 30th anniversary edition on 13 May 2013.

The album was a massive hit in the US when originally released, spawning four top 10 hit singles, although the same 45s performed more modestly in the UK and Europe. Nevertheless, Sports sold enormously, and has shifted almost 10 million ‘units’ globally to date.

A 1999 expanded edition of Sports boasted a couple of ‘session takes’ as well as three live tracks, but this new anniversary edition (personally overseen by Huey Lewis) omits these studio cuts, and the bonus CD simply includes a live version of every track on the album, many of which are said to be previously unreleased.

The special edition includes an expanded booklet with photos and memorabilia from the band’s archive and new liner notes by music journalist and author Gary Graff.

The band have also announced a North American summer tour to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Sports.
