‘Soup’ does exactly what it says on the tin. It is the cream of the Beautiful South and the Housemartins condensed into one CD package. This is the first time that the hits package has been created to include the best songs from Hull’s two finest musical exports.There is a limited edition fan format with a bonus DVD packed with great previously unavailabel content for the fans. This includes a half hour Housemartins documentary, some classic clips from TV and festival performances and home video footage of both bands (including a very prophetic snippet of Norman Cook using a rudimentary sampler to create a DIY remix of a Housemartins tune). Do not miss the clip of the Housemartins on seminal TV show ‘The Tube’ singing acccapella and naked synchronised swimming in the baths at Newcastle Football club. Priceless.The album will be heavily TV advertised from launch. The branding within the TV ad will be reinforced with outdoor PR stunts and an on-line viral campaign.
