BY Josiah HughesPublished May 28, 2009

UK power pop sensations the Undertones will continue their legacy when their sophomore album, Hypnotised, is reissued this summer. The album, which was originally released in 1980, was a critical and commercial smash but, up until now, has never received the reissue treatment.

The new version will contain seven bonus tracks, three of which are B-sides, and the remaining four from John Peel sessions. The CD will also include a video for "My Perfect Cousin," directed by Julien Temple.

The disc is due June 8 from the Undertones' Salvo/Ardeck imprint.
