On 25 October Chrysalis Records will release exapanded editions of two of Ian Hunter’s best solo albums.

Originally released in 1979, You’re Never Alone With a Schizophrenic is a classic from Ian Hunter’s post Mott The Hoople solo catalogue. Featuring members of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band as well as a special appearance from John Cale, this record includes Hunter’s best performing US chart single ‘Just Another Night’ as well as ‘Cleveland Rocks’, which went on to become one of his most beloved tunes.

Produced alongside the late, great Mick Ronson, Hunter’s fourth studio album has been newly packaged with seven archival rarities available on vinyl for the very first time – pressed on green vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics. 

The follow up album, 1981’s Short Back n’ Sides, also inclues an array of guest musicians, most notably obsessive Mott fan, guitarist Mick Jones, and his fellow Clash compadré, drummer extraordinaire Topper Headon, as well as musical genius Todd Rundgren. 

Reinvigorated by punk, with the guest musicians clearly having a major impact, Short Back n’ Sides finds longtime collaborator Mick Ronson alongside Mick Jones on production duties. This is a thrilling record with Hunter in scintillating form. 

Short Back n’ Sides has been newly remastered and cut at AIR Mastering with this expanded edition including twelve archival rarities. Pressed on yellow vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics.
