FAITH NO MORE: Deluxe Editions Of 'King For A Day', 'Album Of The Year' Due In September

FAITH NO MORE will release deluxe editions of "King For A Day" and "Album Of The Year" on September 9. These include new remasters of the original album, plus a bonus disc of rarities and B-sides. The reissues will be made available on 2-CD, double 180-gram heavyweight LP and digital plus streaming services.

Following the Grammy-nominated album "Angel Dust", FAITH NO MORE returned in 1995 with "King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime". Recorded at Bearsville Studios near Woodstock, New York, it was the first without longtime guitarist Jim Martin, whose departure had an influence on the direction of the album. In the new liner notes, keyboardist Roddy Bottum writes: "As a result, we wrote and recorded some of our most radical, out-there songs, like 'Cuckoo For Caca' and 'Ugly In The Morning', some of our mellowest like 'Take This Bottle', 'Caralho Voador' and then some of our most high-drama, like 'Just A Man'."

Among the eight bonus tracks are the B-sides "Spanish Eyes" and "Absolute Zero", as well as the band's cover of the BEE GEES' "I Started A Joke", which was originally released as a b-side in 1995, and then as a single in 1998.

"Album Of The Year" became the first FAITH NO MORE release to feature members of the current lineup: Mike Bordin (drums),Roddy Bottum (keyboards),Billy Gould (bass),Jon Hudson (guitar),and Mike Patton (vocals). Recorded mostly in Gould's home studio, the album produced three singles: "Ashes To Ashes", "Last Cup Of Sorrow" and "Stripsearch". In the liner notes, Bottum writes: "We were definitely referencing our musical roots as well, going back to darker tones visited in 'Angel Dust'... in retrospect it feels really strong and an undeniably prolific chapter in what we ultimately set out to do."

"Album Of The Year"'s eight bonus tracks also include live versions of the album track "Collision" and the Burt Bacharach and Hal David classic "This Guy's In Love With You", plus rare mixes of "Last Cup Of Sorrow", "Pristina" and more.
