Tracklisting Revealed for Bryan Ferry's 'Olympia'
12 July 2010
I now have the artwork and tracklisting for Bryan Ferry's new album 'Olympia' which will be released on October 25th, a little later than at first announced.
1. You Can Dance 2. Alphaville 3. Heartache By Numbers 4. Me Oh My 5. Shameless 6. Song To The Siren 7. No Face, No Name, No Number 8. BF Bass (Ode To Olympia) 9. Reason Or Rhyme 10. Tender Is The Night
There is also going to be a 'Deluxe' CD DVD version (with an eye-watering price!) in a 40 page deluxe hardback book format with a 13 track CD, a remix CD and a DVD including the video for 'You Can Dance', behind scenes of album photoshoot and track by track interviews with Bryan Ferry and featured album guests.
1. Whatever Gets You Through The Night. This John Lennon song was originally recorded in the late 90s for a Lennon tribute that was never released and is reputed to include contributions by Ronnie Spector and Bernard Butler.
2. One Night. Bryan Ferry's version of the Elvis Presley classic was recorded in the early 1990s around the same time as his version of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' for the 'Honeymoon In Vegas' soundtrack and the Taxi sessions.
3. Move Closer. This is Bryan Ferry's version of the 1985 chart topper by the late Phyllis Nelson. Legend (probably apocryphal) has it that a girl fan suggested to Ferry at a gig that he record the song. So he did! This track is also from the Taxi-era sessions.
As I announced earlier, the new album will be preceded by a single 'You Can Dance', released on August 2. The single will be accompanied by a music video shot at Wilton's Music Hall in London.
