James annoncent une double réédition

Enregistrés simultanément au Real World Studio de Peter Gabriel en 1993 avant de voir le jour respectivement le 5 octobre 1993 puis le 1er octobre 1994, les albums Laid et Wah Wah de James feront l'objet d'une réédition commune le 23 mars prochain.

Quatre versions distinctes seront commercialisées à cette occasion : un coffret de quatre disques réunissant les deux albums ainsi que de nombreuses démos, raretés et versions live, un double CD de Laid réunissant le disque originel et un second disque de titres bonus, ainsi que des versions vinyles de chacun des deux albums.
