The Buzzcocks are hopping aboard the nostalgia train with reissues of their first three full-lengths and a tour on which they'll play the first two in their entirety. The reissues come to the UK courtesy of EMI on October 27. Another Music in a Different Kitchen (1978), Love Bites (1978), and A Different Kind of Tension (1979) all get the deluxe treatment. That means two discs per reissue full of associated singles, demos, live versions, backing tracks, and Peel sessions, some of which are previously unreleased. Then in January, the band will hit the road for a UK tour performing Another Music in a Different Kitchen and Love Bites front-to-back and other songs from their catalog. They're calling this trip the "Another Bites Tour".
