BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Hold Me In Your Arms is the platinum-selling sophomore album from Rick Astley. The follow up album to Rick’s smash-hit debut album Whenever You Need Somebody marks its 35th Anniversary in 2023 and reached the Top 10 in multiple markets including the UK, Canada, Germany, Italy and more.

Newly remastered at Abbey Road, Hold Me In Your Arms would be Rick’s last album to be produced by British songwriting royalty – Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Six of the ten songs featured on this album were original compositions written and co-produced by Rick himself, its hits singles include ‘She Wants To Dance With Me’, the SAW-penned ‘Take Me To Your Heart’ and title track ‘Hold Me In Your Arms’.

The LP reissue format features the remastered classic album pressed on striking blue vinyl and expertly recreated original artwork. 

The new double CD reissue features 28 tracks including the remastered original album plus b-sides, remixes and Rick’s own reimagined versions of the original singles from the album. The double CD also comes with an expanded booklet that includes previously unseen photographs of Rick from 1988/1989.
