Demon Music prepare three-disc Belinda Carlisle reissues

I know what you mean, Jeffrie

I’ve seen some pretty damning reviews on Amazon of the remastering of classic 70s and 80s albums. It’s hard to know when to dive in and when to hold back

I have the original Runaway Horses CD album, a Virgin, Holland pressing. I’m looking at the Remastered & Expanded version of the album at Amazon with much interest. But, something is holding me back. Lately, it is been brought into attention that CDs that are remastered these days are suffered, sound quality wise, due to the loudness war. They sound simply louder than their original release but lacking all the dynamic range. Hence, they are called “brickwalled music”. So, before I make the plunge into purchasing Runaway Horses Remastered & Expanded version CD, could somebody here verify with me that this one doesn’t suffer from the loudness war, which is what we’re currently experiencing on CDs today? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I had Runaway Live on VHS. Would have been amazing to get it as a DVD extra. It’s only seems to be available on DVD as a Region 1 sadly

Have just ordered Heaven On Earth special edition for its bonus concert DVD however

LOVE the way you guys did this. i got mine last week and they sound amazing. it’s filled with so many great photos and remixes. PLEASE do the same with her BELINDA album and her WOMAN AND A MAN album. please/ it needs to deluxe treatment.

I think I have outgrown the Heaven on Earth album, but not the remixes (I never heard the other albums). I have the US 12″ of I Feel Free, and I would love to get it on CD. I’d forgotten until looking on YouTube that a ‘live’ version was used for the video. Maybe I thought the song was exciting because of those rip-roaring guitars that were added in for the video. I Feel Free, Martika’s I Feel the Earth Move, and Tiffany’s I Saw Him Standing There/I Think We’re Alone Now sounded very fresh and contemporary when they came out.

I also would love to get the other mixes on CD, particularly the ones that weren’t released on the CD singles.

I always put the video for I Get Weak together with George Michael’s Father Figure, because they came out around the same time, and they both were visually treated.

Heaven on Earth is the most mainstream pop album I bought in the 80’s.

Hooray for getting the 7″ mixes with these releases!

Let’s not forget that I get weak got a U.S. only single version by Shep Pettibone… Would love to hear that on CD! Is that version the “romantic mix”?

Another vote from me for the dub of I Feel Free. It is the best mix!

@Paul Sinclair: Please get the confirmation on the I Get Weak – Instr & I Feel Free – Dub. Glad, to hear Edsel will indicate vinyl rips on future releases :)

@Mike: Here we can leave comments anonymously (FB is linked)! ;)

@AnonyMousE: Yes, that why I tried to find the durations to have an idea!
Tracks 1-11 is about 58:47+i get weak romantic mix (using times from cd/12″ on discogs)!

I Get Weak (Instrumental Version) 7:32
I Feel Free (Dub Version) 7:37
73:56+i get weak romantic mix (there is about 6mins left for this mystery mix)!

Griffin, what a great job in finding those missing tracks ! But is there enough room to include them on the 2nd disc ? They could include them on the dvd, maybe

Best to leave comments on belinda’s fb page, unless paul has the inside track?

Btw, does any of you here know about I get weak extented mix 5:38 on Virgin ‎– VJD-12002? Is it any early fade of the 7:31 twelve inch version? Or a special edited version of the 12″? Or an unedited/longer version of album version? If it is different then they can also put this one on :P

Hi there, I’m so excited! I love Belinda’s Heaven On Earth & Runaway Horses a lot! But I hope they don’t use any vinyl sourced material like Tabu Reborn series! I read from above comment that they’ll probably change the tracklisting to include I Feel Free Dub Version! :D I have another suggestion to add: I Get Weak Instrumental Version (I have the 12″ with this one on, I hope finally to get this in Master quality)! I did some checking all tracks/mixes are easy obtainable from Belinda’s various CD singles except the ones with @ (previously released on vinyl or unreleased)! So no excuse to use vinyl rips while almost all tracks/mixes were available on CD’s before!

Whilst Real was Belinda’s ‘I want my creative vision realised, and stuff commercial success’ stance…it is worth buying for the bonus disc. ‘Change’ is my all time fave BC track. Treasure can be found amongst the mediocre basic album :p

They look so dont they….

My only moan was the missing dub mix of I Feel Free, but great if that has been rectified. Certainly will buy the first three, Real sucks though sadly imho. Woman and a Man was far far better, hope chrysalis release that deluxe one day.

I love Belinda so love these, but please someone tell me that those discs are not in card sleeves?

hi!
my name is Cassiano from Brazil is defined the setlist from dvds for albums remastered?

Sorry to do another post, but… am I remembering right that the Live your life be free had some writings translated in different languages ? Will the dvd include the English one ?
Regarding the live set, it was recorded last year, sorry :)

I’m very happy with these re-issues, but just one question: why not adding the Runaway live concert into the Runaway Horses dvd ?
This one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belinda-Carlisle-Runaway-Live-DVD/dp/B00005B6QG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1370029367&sr=8-2&keywords=Belinda+Carlisle+Runaway+live

Belinda is going to release a live cd+dvd set in early September: Live From Metropolis Studios, recorded this week in London : )

I’m waiting for the first reviews of these to mention the dread phrase “vinyl rip”. Please say it won’t be so! Hopefully, Virgin have looked after their masters properly, and Demon have bothered to use them for everything! If so, they look magnificent.

In all honesty I have minimal interest in the fragrant Ms. Carlisle, but kudos to all concerned in putting these packages together, which look absolutely comprehensive and “the last word” on the artist (audio and video), which, as we seem to be entering the final phases of the life of “hard media”, ought to be what every reissuer aims for, rather than (as often appears to be the case) holding some things back, imagining there might just be one more chance to squeeze out a “final” version in the future…

I’m wondering if these will get a US release?

Excellent news. Well done on facilitating a comprehensive release.

These deluxe editions are lush! Everything I would look for ie 7″ edits/remixes, 12″ versions and dub mixes in a deluxe re-issue. I believe the track listing for ‘Heaven’ has changed to now include the Dub mix of “I Feel Free’ after fans raised the issue. It may not sound like much, but ‘I Feel Free’ was a US only vinyl release – to finally get it’s remixes on CD is (excuse the pun) Heaven!

Also, some rare/unreleased gems in each of the re-issues – a job very well done to whoever compiled these. Imagine if Madonna’s albums received the same treatment (I know, I can dream)!

Looking good and well done on your part for swaying the views on Label bosses to include what the fans what on reissues.
