Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the second album from the British art-rock band led by Rupert Hine. For this, the album by the band, now a trio, included musical assistance from Geoffrey Richardson (ex-Caravan) on viola, Elkie Brooks (as guest vocalist on the album's title track) and members of the Penguin Café Orchestra. Newly re-mastered from the original tapes, this reissue of BARRACUDA has been expanded to include 15 bonus tracks over two CDs, including the band's entire memorable live appearance on the BBC Radio One in Concert show in July 1977 which saw guitarist Roye Albrighton (formerly with Nektar) in a short lived role as a member of the live band, along with special guest Richardson on viola. The remaining bonus tracks include two single edits previously unreleased on CD, two out-takes from the 1977 recording sessions at Trident studios in London and four rare tracks taken from the 1979 remix compilation album MIXING. This expanded edition of BARRACUDA also includes a booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and features a new essay and interview with Rupert Hine.
