Description
M People became one of the world's biggest dance and pop groups from the 1990s, selling more than 11 million records, 2 Brit Awards and a Mercury Prize, featuring the unmistakable voice of Heather Small joining Paul Heard, Shovell and founder and former Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering. This 9CD (123 tracks) and 2DVD career spanning box set features all four studio albums remastered and expanded with single edits and rare mixes, each presented in a gatefold sleeve with original artwork. An exclusive bonus disc of remixes by Frankie Knuckles and David Morales is also included. The 2 DVDs feature all the band's iconic promo videos, energised live performances (some previously unreleased) from 1993, 1994 and 1996 in their hometown of Manchester, and new interviews with Paul, Mike and Shovell. Plus a 48 page colour booklet includes images from the early line-up to later years and never before published photos. The band accumulated a staggering 20 Top 40 singles including 'Moving On Up', 'One Night In Heaven', 'Sight For Sore Eyes', 'Search For A Hero', 'Just For You', 'Renaissance' and 'Natural Thing'. Winning the 1994 Mercury Music Prize for Elegant Slumming was seen as a key event in the history of dance music. This box set showcases all the albums - Northern Soul, Elegant Slumming, Bizarre Fruit, and Fresco. Each album includes bonus tracks and is accompanied by a second disc with single edits and remixes.

The Amazon Exclusive Edition comes with an exclusive print signed by Mike Pickering, Paul Heard and Shovell - a signed copy of the 'Search For The Hero' lyric sheet.

Edsel's Amazon exclusives tend to sell out quickly (usually before the release date), so it's probably best not to wait:
