THE CRANBERRIES are to re-release their classic second album No Need to Argue as part of a deluxe reissue including previously unreleased songs, B-sides, remixes featuring Dolores O’Riordan.
O’Riordan tragically passed away in January 2018, with band parting ways a year later following the release of their final album In The End.
The album featured some of the final vocals record by O’Riordan prior to her shock death.
Now fans will get another chance to hear more from the Limerick-born singer with the re-issue of No Need to Argue, the band’s biggest selling LP to date.
The expanded edition of the album will be released on September 18 and includes remastered versions of all of the album’s 13 original tracks as well as demos and live recordings from the era.
Three B-sides are included in the release (Away, I Don’t Need and So Cold In Ireland). There’s also a cover of The Carpenters' (They Long to Be) Close to You.

Previously unseen photographs taken from the album photo session are also included in the reissue, along with an an essay on the history of No Need to Argue written by Eoin Devereux, the band’s archivist.
A dark, more sombre record than their debut Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, the tone for the record was set on the lead single Zombie.
Written by O'Riordan as a reaction to the IRA bombings in Warrington in March 1993 that killed two children and injured 56 others, the band were adamant it should be the lead single, resisting suggestions they go with a less political track.
Their instincts proved correct with No Need To Argue going on to sell 17 million copies worldwide.
Zombie, meanwhile, recently became one of only a handful of music videos on YouTube to achieve over a billion views.
