The Chameleons To Reissue 'Why Call It Anything', Release New Rarities Set

The Chameleons will reissue their 2001's album 'Why Call It Anything' and will also release a brand new compilation called 'Dreams in Celluloid' featuring demos and early studio takes with the rare Tony Fletcher Walked on Water.... La La La La La-La La-La-La EP.

Both two-disc sets will be released next Monday via Blue Apple Music.

The reissue of 'Why Call It Anything' will be accompanied by the now-deleted 13-track Live at the Academy CD, which was recorded at the Manchester Academy in 2001, and features tracks off the album and earlier material.

'The Dreams in Celluloid' set features a disc with 13 demos and early studio takes dating back to the beginning of The Chameleons' career, including songs such as "Fan and the Bellows," “Dali’s Picture” and “Everyday I’m Crucified” that never made it onto the band’s studio albums. 

The second disc of Dreams in Celluloid features the full four-track Tony Fletcher EP, recorded in 1987 during sessions for a follow-up to Strange Days. The band broke up just days after the recordings were made, although they eventually were released posthumously in 1990.

All of the material was newly remastered this past spring.
