Crowded House‘s 1991 album Woodface is widely regarded as a modern classic. It will be reissued in November, along with the rest of the catalogue, as a 2CD deluxe edition and a new 180g vinyl pressing.
I don’t mind the song, but in an album packed with finely crafted classics, some bright spark chose to release Chocolate Cake as the lead single and came close to derailing the promotion when the 45 stalled at number 69 in the UK charts. Thankfully, the cream rises to the top and while they only had one BIG hit (Weather With You) the consistency with which the three other singles charted was impressive (they were all top 30 hits with Fall at Your Feet creeping into the top 20).
The bonus disc on the new deluxe of Woodface is full of home demos and even finds a place for the full version of that hidden track I’m Still Here!
The 2CD deluxe and new vinyl will be issued on 4 November 2016.

My (recurring) dream would have been for it to include the gig from Bradford in 1992. My cassette of the radio 1 broadcast is long gone.
Anyone know when the 2CD versions might show up on Amazon USA?
tuesday afternoon.
the 1997 EMI 2cd deluxe edition contains 5 “original demo” tracks – simply acoustic versions, in my opinion: weather with you, four seasons in one day, it’s only natural, chocolate cake, and how will you go. i’ll keep buy this new set and keep the aforementioned, but it’s a shame they’re not included in this new SDE.
I suspect you will find that those 5 ‘original demo’ tracks are the same as the ‘home demo’ tracks on this reissue. They were also released as bonus tracks to the two CD singles from the ‘Finn’ album. Time will tell.

From a purely selfish perspective, it’s missing ‘Weather With You (Live)’ as featured on Q Magazine’s ‘Sweet Sixteen’ CD they gave away in April 1993. It’s a brilliant version…
