Re mastered at Woodbine Street Recording Studios in Leamington Spa by John Rivers, with Simon Carmody 30 years on from the original release of this album. Compiled to include ALL the bonus material singles b sides etc. Limited to 900 copies presented in deluxe gatefold sleeve with intensive liner notes.

Last Bandits In The World has been out of print for over 25 years and the singles were only ever issued in Eire. Following the release in 1985 of the classic "Robespierre's Velvet Basement", and to the frustration of their US record label TwinTone, who were poised to release their American debut "The Ragged School", The Jacobites, Nikki Sudden and Dave Kusworth decided to call it a day. Cue end of transatlantic buzz. Nikki decides to re-visit Dublin where he hooks up with Horslips guitarist Johnny Fean and The Golden Horde's Simon Carmody and The Last Bandits In The World are born (credit to the legendary BP Fallon for the name). Produced by The Horslips' Eamon Carr, the self titled album appears on Irish label Hotwire, alongside the gorgeous "Christmas Morning" single (featuring future US TV (Supernatural) star Mark Sheppard) - and pretty quickly disappears. Yet another classic falls through the cracks.Christmas Day morning 1988 and tragedy strikes as friend, muse and cover artist Karl Stephenson is killed by a drunk driver. Nikki and Simon re-convene, with Anthony Thistlethwaite and Steve Wickham of The Waterboys, to record, in memory of Karl, "The Angels Are Calling", released on 7" and 12" in 1989 by Ireland's Solid Records.

Now, released for the first time ever on CD and on limited edition gatefold double vinyl are the collected works of The Last Bandits - "The Last Bandits In The World - Complete". "Romantic honesty and perfect poise" - Melody Maker (August 1986) "A unique and positive contribution to civilisation..." - The Hot Press (August 1986) "I have seen the white horsemen riding to hell, between is the land of broken colours, fierce and inevitable as volcanic lava, molten frost, invincible as the great stone that falls from a hill. There are doors of tissue gold."
