Bronski Beat - Truthdare Doubledare - (40th Anniversary 3CD Album + bonus 'Dr. John' CD Single)
Truthdare Doubledare marked a significant change in the direction of synth-pop trio Bronski Beat’s as a band, with vocalist Jimmy Somerville leaving and being replaced with John Jøn Foster.
Whilst maintaining a clear voice in support of gay rights and political activism, the production gave way to a rougher and rawer style, featuring more real instruments, ever-powerful lyrics and more variety in genre.

JORDAN & Ted Carfrae, Exclusive liner notes from vocalist John Jøn Foster, Exclusive detailed timeline by project consultant Barnaby Ashton-Bullock, Updated artwork with rare and unseen photos.
