The Cranberries Plan Expanded Edition Release of 1994’s No Need To Argue
The Cranberries were first introduced to the world with their breakout album Everybody Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? in 1993 but their 1994 followup album No Need To Argue was just as memorable. Now the band is planning a new expanded edition that will be full of extra material including demos and live tracks, with a release date of September 18th, 2020.
The biggest hit from No Need To Argue was undoubtedly Zombie, which is instantly recognizable (surpassing 1 billion views on YouTube) but there are plenty of other musical gems on the album including the beautiful Ode To My Family as well as Empty and Ridiculous Thoughts and the almost-church-like title track
With the planned expanded edition, fans will have the remastered original album as well as B-sides including Yesterday’s Gone from the band’s performance on MTV Unplugged and their cover of the Carpenters’ (They Long To Be) Close To You, which original appeared on the 90s Carpenters tribute album If I Were A Carpenter. In addition, there will be 9 different demos and selections from 2 live sets from 1994 (Liverpool Royal Court) and 1995 (National Stadium, Milton Keynes).
