Kevin and I wanted to make an announcement to all the fans of Bucks Fizz. A few years ago Ian Stocker & Myself, released a special edition of ‘Writing On The Wall’. It was a great album, but unfortunately, as you will all know, the pressing was cocked up, and the entire bass and bottom end was missing from the release, resulting in a sad CD release. Both Myself and Ian at the time were mortified that this had happened. So…
In October 2010, I got back in touch with Universal Music about redressing the balance.At the time, it wasn’t viable to release it, due to the economic climate, but we would talk about it early 2011. They said it was a great idea to release it-correctly this time, with both Kevin and I in charge, overlooking all aspects of it-including mastering. Now at the time, I already had a number of unheard gems-mainly Universal owned, and no Sony material, so we had a plan. There were also a few tracks to be mixed and completed, which we did last year. So now, 16 months on, both Universal Music Group and Fat Dog Productions are pleased to announce….

It will be a very special double CD release, which will have all the tracks from the 1986 era. It will have an extensive 20 PAGE booklet and will be fully remastered from the original master tapes. And if that wasn’t enough for you- the bonus disc two will be-

This definitely is the Ultimate Edition of this 5th studio album.Also, this is the final Bucks Fizz album release from me. My health unfortunately cannot take the strain and stress of it all anymore, and it is deteriorating daily. This is my final present and gift to you all.Yes-it has been released before-twice, but not like this and with the third in the trilogy of the Lost Masters series.
Enjoy everyone. Take care , Dean & Kevin, Fat Dog Productions UK
