Beloved synth-pop pioneers Book of Love are reuniting with all four original members to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their landmark self-titled debut album BOOK OF LOVE.
To commemorate this milestone, Rhino Records will release a special anniversary vinyl edition of the classic album, while Cherry Red Records will issue a definitive CD box set spanning the band’s entire catalog.
Book of Love is back in the studio working on brand-new music for a 2026 release—their first in over three decades—and will perform a limited run of live shows to mark the occasion.
“Our debut album has meant so much to us and our fans over the years and we’re excited to honor that legacy while also moving forward with new music.”
One of the first wave electronic groups, Book of Love emerged out of the New York City scene in the mid-'80s and was signed by the legendary Seymour Stein to Sire Records. On April 1, 1986, art-students-turned musicians: Susan Ottaviano, Ted Ottaviano, Jade Lee and Lauren Roselli released the bands debut album. Between 1985 and 1993, the band released four studio albums and had a steady string of influential club hits, including the classics “Boy,” “I Touch Roses,” the ebullient “You Make Me Feel So Good” and “Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls/Tubular Bells” which crossed over on the Billboard Hot 100. The band’s music was featured in the classic films Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Silence of the Lambs and American Psycho.
$100 VIP includes GA ticket and a MEET and GREET with all four band members before the show.
