Ronan Keating Announces 25th Anniversary Edition Of Debut Album ‘Ronan’
The double CD and 2LP editions will arrive on September 5.
Ronan Keating is celebrating the 25th anniversary edition of Ronan – his multi-million selling debut solo album – with double CD and 2LP reissues arriving on September 5. It will also be receiving a brand new digital makeover with maxi-singles from the albums’ era-defining singles as well as an HD upgrade to its videos.
The double CD version will feature the re-released version of the album in full with the second CD featuring, for the first time as just audio, Ronan Live, his Royal Albert Hall show from 2000 that was released on DVD and VHS in 2003. The 2LP will also feature the original album in full and a selection of tracks from Ronan Live.
Digitally, there will be a suite of enhanced digital offerings made available with digital maxi-single EPs released around the album’s huge singles: “Life Is A Rollercoaster,” “When You Say Nothing At All,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” and “Lovin’ Each Day.” These will all feature alternate versions and b-sides. They are set to drop through July and August alongside each of the videos for the singles, which have been given an HD remaster.
Having taken time reflecting on the release, Ronan said: “Thank you to everyone and anyone who ever believed in me and supported me along the way…Who purchased this or any other album; who turned up to one of my gigs; or who lined up outside a tv studio or concert for an autograph. To those in the press who wrote kind things; or to the people who defended me when the haters had a go. To those who showed loyalty and honor, even when it would have been easier to turn a blind eye, or to the friends who were there in the darkest days and not just the ones where they could capitalize on the golden ones. To the people who simply enjoyed my music on a dance floor and spread the love; and those who played my songs at a treasured moment. All of you brought me here and kept me here and allowed me to enjoy a career that has spanned three decades. I dedicate this re-release to all of you.”
