Back in May 2024 Past Night From Glasgow, the offshoot label attached to Last Night From Glasgow with the aim of reissuing albums that have long been out of print, did so with Jerry Burns. Here’s the accompanying PR blurb:-
“Originally released in 1992, Jerry Burns self-titled LP is a study in understated beauty – An album of compelling melancholia and beautifully crafted songs, often mentioned in the same breath as The Blue Nile, Craig Armstrong & Bjork.
“Originally under the wing of the visionary CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Rob Stringer who understood the beauty and ambiguity of the album championing Pale Red as a bold first single, he paired Jerry and her co-writer/producer Bobby Henry with the pop impresario Stephen Hague who preserved the gentle pop pulsing through the album’s heart while the move to Bearsville – New York to work with the Godfather of mastering Bob Clearmountain brought the warmth and intimacy that still radiates from Jerry’s voice.”
