Mel & Kim: F.L.M. DLX Die Version auf 2CD in deluxe remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Cherry Pop am 26. Oktober 2010.

Mel & Kim waren ein britisches Popduo, und in den späten 80er Jahren feierten sie weltweit große Erfolge. Die beiden Schwestern wurden vom bekannten Produzententrio Stock Aitken Waterman produziert. Zu ihren bekanntesten Stücken zählen Hits wie "Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend)" und "Respectable". Auf Cherry Pop erscheint nun eine exklusive Wiederveröffentlichung von Mel & Kims Albumklassiker "F. L.M." als 2CD Deluxe Edition 2CD. Inkl. einer Vielzahl an raren und bisher noch unveröffentlichten Versionen.

One of the best-remembered acts of the 80s, Cockney sisters Mel & Kim Appleby instantly conquered dance floors, charts and hearts around the world with their style, personality and a string of perfect pop anthems. Their classic album "F. L.M." is now given a much anticipated Deluxe Edition 2CD reissue on Cherry Pop.

Produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, the album reached #3 on its original release in April 1987, going platinum in the UK and topping the charts internationally with sales in excess of three million copies. "F. L.M." features three UK Top Ten hits Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend), the classic #1 Respectable and the title track. Digitally re-mastered and compiled from original master tapes archived at Abbey Road and Pete Waterman's PWL Studios, this release features no less than nineteen exclusive bonus tracks across two discs, including the 1988 Top Ten hit, That's The Way It Is and its self-penned B-side, You Changed My Life. Both tracks are included alongside the "F. L.M." album for the first time ever.

Kim Appleby has generously contributed an exclusive commentary to this release. The extensive booklet also features a reversible cover, an illustrated discography, additional photos and brand new sleeve notes from PWL consultant Tom Parker. Mel & Kim s debut single, Showing Out, hit #3 in November 1986, and in February 1987 Respectable became the first Stock Aitken Waterman composition to top the charts. Combining a streetwise pop sensibility with transatlantic house grooves, Mel & Kim became a global sensation. But at the height of their fame, Mel was diagnosed with cancer. Facing relentless media attention with dignity and characteristic humour while she underwent treatment, the duo released a brand new single in February 1988 That's The Way It Is.

Tragically, Mel's health deteriorated and she passed away in January 1990, aged just 23. "F. L.M." is the latest Hit Factory classic to be reissued on Cherry Pop, following a host of popular releases from Big Fun, Boy Krazy, Hazell Dean, Lonnie Gordon, Haywoode, the London Boys, Princess, Sinitta, Mandy Smith and Sonia.
