Description:
"Close (Expanded 2CD+DVD Digipak)" is a deluxe reissue of Kim Wilde's successful late-80s album, presented here as an expanded 2CD+DVD set in a high-quality Digipak by Cherry Red. The two audio CDs typically bring together the original studio album plus a generous selection of bonus material such as single edits, B-sides, rare mixes or extended versions that showcase the full creative spectrum of this era in Kim Wilde's career. The included DVD usually offers an added visual dimension - for example period music videos, TV appearances or a concert recording - and turns this edition into an attractive collector's item for fans of classic pop from the 1980s. The Digipak packaging underscores the premium character of this release, often combining redesigned artwork with an expanded booklet that may feature photos or liner notes about the album and its context.
Cherry Red is a long-established independent label from the UK, known for its lovingly compiled reissues, archive projects and artist retrospectives. The company has built a reputation among collectors for careful catalog curation, high-quality remastering where available and detailed packaging that takes the historical importance of the original recordings seriously. With "Close (Expanded 2CD+DVD Digipak)", Cherry Red once again demonstrates its focus on classic pop and rock titles that deserve a second life in expanded, fan-friendly editions.
Kim Wilde is one of the defining pop voices of the 1980s and has enjoyed enduring success far beyond that decade. Emerging in the early '80s with a striking image and a blend of new wave, synth-pop and catchy melodies, she quickly became an international chart presence and a familiar face on music television. Over the years, her work has influenced both mainstream pop and the retro-wave scene, and she remains a respected live performer with a loyal fan base. The "Close" era belongs to her commercially strongest phases, and this expanded 2CD+DVD edition offers listeners and collectors the opportunity to experience that creative high point in a rich, well-curated format that does justice to the original album and its legacy.
