£3.50
An Iconic Piece of 90s Dance-Pop History – Featuring Professor Brian Cox!
Secure an authentic time capsule of early 1990s British club and political culture with the rare, original 1993 European physical CD maxi-single release of "Things Can Only Get Better" by D:Ream. This specific configuration—featuring the striking orange/gold portrait cover art—is the original German pressing manufactured by Warner Music Europe, heavily collected over the more common 1994 blue re-release variations.
Pop Culture History Note: This historic recording famously features the keyboard and synth production of a young Brian Cox, long before he became the world's most famous television physicist and professor! The track went on to become an defining global anthem of 90s optimism.
This original 1993 pressing functions as a dedicated club manual. It delivers six massive tracks, including the definitive D:Reamix Edit alongside the highly sought-after, deep house underground revisions by legendary remix syndicates Cleveland City and the Development Corporation. An essential addition for 90s Eurodance archivists, house music DJs, and pop-media completists.
