• A CERTAIN RATIO - who celebrate their 40th anniversary this year - release a new box set, acr:box, out on Mute. acr:box launches with a brand new acoustic version of 'Won't Stop Loving You' (AKA The Big E) here titled 'W.S.L.U.', a recent collaboration with Parent's Sarah Brandwood-Spencer (string arrangement) and Jason Brown (additional guitars). acr:box was remastered by Martin Moscrop at Abbey Road studios. Featuring over 20 unreleased tracks, the box set will be available as a 7 x coloured vinyl set, 4 x CD set and digitally and its release will coincide with a series of dates. Following on from 2018's compilation, acr:set, the box showcases the diversity of the singles, B-sides and alternative versions of tracks that A Certain Ratio have released, but without repeating tracks recently made available. acr:box collates everything that fans had been missing from the recent reissue campaign, and compliments that with a selection found after a deep delve into the archive to find all the hidden gems that had been talked about over the years, but never heard - even a few releases the band had forgotten about! Looking to make the box set as comprehensive as possible, even the original tapes from the session they recorded for a collaboration with Grace Jones were uncovered and reworked. This session includes the cover version of Talking Heads' 'Houses In Motion', using Jez Kerr's guide vocals (pre to him becoming the band's singer). Grace Jones never completed her vocal take, after attending one of the recording sessions with the band.
