The Album
Originally released in October 1993, “The Crossing” was Paul Young’s fifth and final album for Columbia Records. Produced mainly by Don Was and featuring top musicians such as Billy Preston, The Memphis Horns, Jeff Porcaro and Pino Palladino, the album is regarded by fans and critics as one of Paul Young’s very best solo works. When interviewed for this 30th Anniversary release, Paul Young said: “If you were to ask me the albums I most enjoyed making they would be the first and the last for Columbia Records; No Parlez and The Crossing. On The Crossing, it was the caliber of the musicians that I worked with and I was working with my musical heroes, some of which I’d admired since I was a teenager. The sessions were so relaxed and all the people in the studio were such lovely people to work with, I will remember it forever.” 7A Records is reissuing The Crossing on 180g turquoise vinyl and CD. The recordings have been remastered and the packaging will include rare photos, extensive liner notes, an exclusive Paul Young interview and lyrics to all of the songs. The CD version will include a 40 page colour booklet.
