Simply Red sign album deal with Tesco

Simply Red have secured a deal with Tesco to release their new album Songs Of Love exclusively at the supermarket.

The record includes new track 'I Have The Love' and a re-recording of 'Beside You', which originally featured on the What Dreams May Come soundtrack.

Buyers will also be able to purchase priority tickets for Simply Red's upcoming final tour in autumn 2010.

"Tesco already provides exclusive offers in almost every product category we sell," entertainment director Rob Salter said in a statement.

"Extending this approach to entertainment is a logical step which reflects our customers' keen interest in music and films. We are thrilled to have to joined up with the legendary Simply Red to release an exclusive album. The new songs sound fantastic and it is sure to be a big hit."

Songs Of Love is available from February 28 both online and in select Tesco stores.
