Mamouna (1994) is being reissued again, this time as a 3 cd set in August. It was Ferry's first studio album in seven years to feature original recordings, having a previous working title of 'Horoscope'. The unreleased alternate recordings (1989-94) to the final 'Mamouna' versions are collected for the first time here. Personally i think this was one of his best albums often overlooked by Boys & Girls and Bete Noire from the 80s.
