Tracie Young – ‘No Smoke Without Fire’ Album: Expanded Edition (Cherry Red)

After nearly 30 years of waiting we can finally announce the release of Tracie's long awaited 2nd album 'No Smoke Without Fire'. It was originally intended for release in 1985.

•    This is the first time the album has been available as a complete collection, on CD or any format.

•    This 17 track collection features ten of the tracks intended for the original album plus seven bonus tracks.

•    The bonus tracks include versions of Tracie's singles; ‘The House That Jack Built’ - 1st Mix, ‘I Can't Leave You Alone’ - Pick 'n' Mix version and ‘(When You) Call Me’ penned by Paul Weller. Also featured are demo versions of ‘The Waking Hours’, and ‘Good For You’ and the 7" version of ‘Baby Come Back’ and ‘19’ - The Wickham Mix.

•    The 1st Mix of Tracie's best known single ‘The House That Jack Built’ is included. It was intended to be the single version before Paul Weller decided to speed it up and make other minor changes. The resulting version then went on to peak at #9 in the UK singles chart.

•    Tracie has written the detailed sleeve notes for this release.

•    A comprehensive CD booklet has been produced with a new front cover design, a full UK discography and photos from Tracie's own collection from behind the scenes on tour in Japan and elsewhere.

•    Tracie was signed by Respond Records after sending in a demo, thanks to an advert in Smash Hits magazine. Within days she was in the studio with Paul Weller and the resulting debut single, ‘The House That Jack Built’ followed in Spring 1983, peaking at #9 in the UK singles charts. Tracie went on to enjoy chart and critical success with her soulful pop, with seven further singles released along with the Far From The Hurting Kind album.
