Cranberries, new editions for the 30 years of “No Need to Argue”
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the exit of the album of Cranberries “No Need to Argue”originally published on October 3, 1994, new special editions of the disc are published.
“Sometimes it seems that only a few years have passed, other times it seems an eternity. There are many memories still vivid in our mind. It is difficult to believe that 30 years have passed since its release,” says the drummer of Cranberries, Fergal Lawler.
The band celebrates the anniversary with a limited edition deluxe box of 3 LP, preordained from today and out of July 8 exclusively on the Shop Universal Music For Island/Universal Music. In addition, a deluxe edition in 2 LP and 2 CDs, LP, a CD and a Deluxe digital edition are available for pre -order from today and out on August 15th.
“There was no ‘syndrome from second album complications’,” says Lawler. “Dolores had no problems writing on tour and, on the contrary, it was full of ideas. Often, once a song was completed, it was inserted directly in the live set, so the audience could listen to many of the songs before they were recorded. I remember having played” zombies “, for example, at the beginning of 1993, during our first European tour with the Hothouse Flowers.
The text spoke of political disorders in Ireland that lasted from the late 1960s to 1998, “Zombie” He thought about innocent children victims of that violence. “People say we shouldn’t have written ‘zombie’, but I am Irish. I am a human being,” Dolores explained about the song. “I was allowed to feel feelings for Northern Ireland, just as I have allowed me feelings for what is happening in Bosnia. I express them in my songs. Person is to decide whether to listen to them or not.”
The limited edition 3LP vinyl package includes an unprecedented demo of “Zombie”live recordings by Woodstock ’94 and the MTV UNPLugged, originally broadcast on April 18, 1995. “It was an honor to participate in the MTV UNPLugged and I am really proud that our songs did not need all the frills found in the studio to play better”, explains Lawler. “They worked as well, essential and played in acoustic”. Two remixes of the Scottish producer and member of the Chvches, Iin Cook are also included. Lawler speaking of the remix says: “Iin was very nervous at the idea of working on ‘zombie’ for what he represented. I told him not to worry about what others thought and to try and that’s it. Initially, he followed the path of traditional Irish music, but then he decided to do something more dance, which worked great”.
“I really believe that what pushes people to listen to the Cranberries is the honesty of their music,” he said Dolores O’erordan. “Some fans ask: don’t you embarrassed to sing about these things? But I reply: is this that it makes me what they are. I will not change for anyone.”
