GANG PARADE releases "WELCOME TO GANG PARADE(DELUXE EDITION)" a 66 songs-long digital album with re recorded versions of their previous releases

[stan BISH]

normally i wouldn't think that a digital album is newsworthy but the fact that this is longer than most music compilation / collections  from other musical acts is definitely something to acknowledge

it includes 66 songs (track list below) these are the "13SOUL" versions, in the group's terminology the "SOUL" refers to the size of their line up, back in May of this year GANG PARADE's line up expanded from 10 to 13 members

i honestly can't even imagine the time it took to rearrange and re record 66 songs with the new line up

and these aren't just GANG PARADE songs, they also recorded new versions of the discography of PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS, in 2020 GP split in two groups each took with them roughly half of the members, in January 1st of 2022 it was decided that the members should go back together and GP was revived, many fans became familiar with them thanks to PARADISES / GO TO THE BEDS some were worried that those group's songs were going to be forgotten but now that they recorded new versions they are likely to be include in future set lists
