The Communards' sophomore album 'Red', originally released in 1987, solidified the musical partnership between Bronski Beat singer Jimmy Somerville and pianist Richard Coles. Combining synths and hi-NRG production with rich string and horn arrangements, The Communards bridged pop and political themes, reflecting the political turmoil and moral panic of late 80s Britain. This remastered and expanded 35th Anniversary Edition includes a variety of B-sides and previously unreleased remixes.
