Product Description

Thompson Twins – Into the Gap (Deluxe Edition – 2024 Remaster) [Red Vinyl]

RELEASE DATE: 22nd November 2024

‘Into The Gap’ by Thompson Twins is an era-defining album of the 80s. This 40 th anniversary reissue
is the most comprehensive reissue of this album ever, remastered at Abbey Road Studios and
compiled with the full blessing of all three band members from the classic line-up.
‘Into the Gap’ stands as one of the band's most successful albums, emblematic of the synth-pop
era's peak. The album features hit singles like ‘Hold Me Now,’ ‘Doctor! Doctor!,’ and ‘You Take Me
Up,’ which highlighted the band's knack for creating catchy, synth-driven pop tunes. At the time,
Thompson Twins were a leading force in the new wave movement, with ‘Into the Gap’ reaching
number one on the UK Albums Chart and selling over 1 million copies in the US. The album's success
was bolstered by the rise of MTV, where the band's visually striking music videos played a crucial
role in their global appeal. ‘Into the Gap’ encapsulated the spirit of 1980s pop culture, combining
innovative sound with a strong visual identity, making it a defining record of the decade.
Both physical formats feature digitally restored artwork and new liner notes, written by John Earls
and features contributions from all three band members. The LP format, on desirable red vinyl,
lovingly recreates the original release, complete with fold-out insert; the triple CD format includes
30 bonus tracks, 12 of which are previously unreleased and a 24-page booklet.
