Crowded House - Afterglow (Deluxe Edition) (1999/2016)

Afterglow is a 1999 Crowded House compilation album that has been given ‘proper’ album status as far as the new reissue campaign is concerned. It will be re-released in November along with the rest of the catalogue.

The album consists of rarities and outtakes recorded between 1985 and 1994. The new two-CD deluxe is a great idea because the bonus disc here is the perfect place to put the master versions of Instinct, Not The Girl You Think You Are (probably the most ‘Beatlesque’ thing Neil ever recorded) and Everything Is Good For You. The previously unreleased demos for all three are also included.
