Glam blues metal icons Cinderella are set to release a career-spanning box set. Hitting the racks on 28th September 2018 through Caroline International, 'Cinderella - The Mercury Years' includes all of the band's four albums, plus a disc of b-sides and rarities.
Formed in Philadelphia in 1982 Cinderella was forged initially as a glam and heavy metal band before shifting into a more traditional heavy rock and blues-based sound. The band had a string of multi-platinum albums (15 million sold worldwide) and hit singles such as ‘Gypsy Road’ and ‘Nobody’s Fool’.
This set, which has been put together in collaboration with the band's lead singer, principal songwriter and guitarist, Tom Keifer, is housed in a clamshell box with a 16-page booklet containing a new interview with Tom by the renowned and celebrated journalist Malcolm Dome. They discuss the band's history and legacy and it provides the perfect accompaniment to this incredible body of music.
Mastered by Andy Pearce from original tapes (where available), ‘Cinderella – The Mercury Years’ contains:
‘Night Songs’. The bands 1986 debut album hit number three in the US album chart. It was certified triple platinum and spawned the singles ‘’Nobody’s Fool’ and ‘Somebody Save Me’.
‘Long Cold Winter’ (1988), their second album was the start of a departure from the glam metal of their debut moving into more of a blues-rock sound. It broke into the top 10 of the US album charts and was again certified triple platinum.
‘Heartbreak Station’, was released in 1990 and went in at number 19 in the US album chart. It sold over one million copies and was certified platinum. It was a much more gritty blues-rock album than the previous two.
‘Still Climbing’ proved to be the bands last. Originally planned to be released in 1991, but due to Tom Keifer losing his voice, it was delayed and was finally released in 1994.
The fifth and final disc is a collection of b-sides and live recordings, some of which have not previously been released.
