SANDRA, who can look back at an over 30 year long musical career, is truely one of germany´s biggest pop stars ever. With over 30 million sold records SANDRA has nothing to prove anymore and is still imensely popular with her fanbase.

Now she steps back in the spotlight and it will a busy year for her. First, in april, the exclusive collection "so8os - so eighties" will be released with all her 12" singles from the 80s remastered from the original Mastertapes on an extensive 2 CD box. Then in may the brand new single "Maybe Tonight" will be released worldwide.

But let´s tell the story step by step: over two years ago SANDRA and Blank & Jones crossed paths for the first time. After a meeting at a TV show they decided to jam at her studio on Ibiza in early summer 2010. The vibe was right and Blank & Jones came up with a plan for new recordings. The idea was to go back to the roots. Back to the eighties. They called up who was responsible for co-writing some of her biggest Hits like "Maria Magdalena" and "In The Heat Of The Night" plus he always sang the male counterpart on most of her songs in her early period. The team was completed with SANDRA´s long time friend Jens Gad as and vocal engenieer. In the meantime Blank & Jones complied so8os Artist-Edition for names like Ultravox, OMD and Heaven 17 which become a great success. As all particpants had a busy schedule with their careers and productions it all took it´s time. But now finally in 2012 a brand new SANDRA song is ready to conquer the pop world again. Produced by Blank & Jones, written by Jens Gad, song by the unbeatable team of SANDRA on lead vocals and Hubert Kah as male support voice. Before the song hits the streets on 11th may with a full range of 80s style mixes like Extended and Dub Versions it is time celebrate the legendary Original 12" Mixes between 1985 and 1989. Blank & Jones went deep into the archives and with the help of a lot of dedicated SANDRA fans they made a list with the most collectable B-Sides, rare mixes and of course all extended versions. For the first time they were able to trace down the original Master-Tapes and restored them with the best technolgy for this release. The final tracklisting is a true highlight to all SANDRA fans and sets a new level of standard.

Enjoy the perfect pop of the old and the new SANDRA!
