In 1985, Echo & the Bunnymen gave us Songs to Learn and Sing. On Tuesday, January 23, 2007, they'll hand over More.

Rhino Records has expanded and remastered the Bunnymen's greatest hits classic, tacking on nine "new" tracks and a DVD. "New" meaning since 1985, that is.

The updated collection, fully titled The Very Best of Echo & the Bunnymen: More Songs to Learn and Sing, spans the Liverpool quartet's lengthy career, including material released after the replacement of drummer Pete de Freitas, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1989, and bassist Les Pattinson, who left the band ten years later.

The DVD boasts eight videos recorded between 1983 and 1999.

Echo & the Bunnymen's current incarnation has a single show on the touring agenda right now; it will take place at the Manchester Evening News Arena (...in Manchester, England) on March 30.
