These are really excellent reissues, great sleevenotes and bonus bits.

I would have dropped the many remixes of ‘Angel’ and ‘Madison ‘in favour of some of the material from the previous 2 CD edition of ‘Titanic Days’ including the ‘Dear John’ demo but its great to have some live Kirsty.

It’s very unusual for a deluxe reissue to offer less information than the original issue but that’s the case with Salvo’s deluxe reissue of “Kite”. The original issue (Virgin CDKM1) featured musician credits for every track while the deluxe reissue lists, at the end of the booklet, all the musicians without providing track-by-track details. Salvo has generally done a very good job but they also don’t provide full details on where the bonus tracks first appeared or whether they’re previously unreleased.

Desperate Character at LAST!! These look very stylish sets, but unless I’m mistaken I think I have nearly all the bonus material on Kite and Electric Landlady (bar the BBC/Live tracks) on the previous reissues and scattered across her many compilations, so I probably can’t justify buying those. Just having DC finally is enough for me anyway!

I used to have a CD maxi single of “Walking Down Madison.” Good to see those tracks showing up again on the deluxe edition!

Kirsty’s work is oft neglected – I would have loved to have seen the brilliant Tropical Brainstorm as part of the repackaging but will look forward to more information on these reissues.
