Formed in 1985, Swing Out Sister — comprised of Corinne Drewery (vocals), Andy Connell (keyboards), and original drummer Martin Jackson — found immediate success with their infectious hit Breakout.
Their elegant blend of pop, jazz, and cinematic soul won them legions of fans and critical acclaim
throughout the 1980s and beyond.
Following the success of Cherry Pop’s Blue Mood, Breakout & Beyond, this companion release brings together five essential studio albums from the band’s mid-career period - many of which have been long out of print:

 The Living Return (1994)
 Shapes and Patterns (1997)
 Filth and Dreams (1999)
 Somewhere Deep in the Night (2001)
 Where Our Love Grows (2004)

Each album is presented in newly remastered form, preserving its original beauty while enhancing audio clarity. In addition to the studio albums Certain Shades of Limelight includes three bonus discs, The Big Elsewhere, a mini album of soundtrack versions of the tv theme song Now You’re Not Here, previously only released in Japan, and two discs packed with B-sides, 7”mixes, rare mixes, instrumentals, alternative versions and sought after edits- offering fans a deep dive into the band’s rich and atmospheric catalogue. The set was compiled in collaboration with Corinne and Andy ensuring both authenticity and quality. The accompanying booklet includes sleeve notes from Classic Pop’s John Earls, with album by album thoughts and insights from the band, and also featuring CD wallet illustrations by Corinne.

Swing Out Sister are currently recording a new big band album, making this release the perfect moment to revisit — or discover — their lush, sophisticated sound.
