Out This Week / 20 October 2014

Suede / Dog Man Star (20th Anniversary box set)
Dog Man Star remains Suede‘s best album by quite some distance, so Edsel celebrate with this multi-format 20th anniversary box set.
Status Quo / Aquostic: Stripped Bare (box set)
Probably best not to judge this ‘book’ by its cover… A limited edition box set version of the new Status Quo acoustic album features, CD, seven-inch single, T-shirt and more. Single CD and LP version also available.
Mike Oldfield / The Studio Albums (1992-2003 CD box)
Eight albums released by Mike Oldfield in the Warner era in this box set, including three Tubular Bells related titles. Vinyl reissues also out today.
Dexys/ Nowhere Is Home 6-disc bookset

Belinda Carlisle / The Complete Studio Albums
All Belinda Carlisle‘s seven studio albums collected in this handy clamshell box set from the 1986 IRS debut Belinda to 2007’s French language Voila.
Jimi Hendrix / The Cry of Love (vinyl edition)
The two recent Jimi Hendrix reissues – The Cry of Love and Rainbow Bridge soundtrack are now available on 180g heavyweight vinyl.
Lisa Stansfield / Seven+ (2CD deluxe)
A second deluxe edition of Lisa Stansfield‘s 2014 album features a bonus disc of remixes although this omits the live tracks from the first deluxe.
UGH!!! The ‘Moto Blanco Club Mix’ of “Can’t Dance” is actually the Moto Blanco RADIO EDIT. How do things like this happen?
“Seven+” not only omits the 3 live tracks and the new version of “You Can’t Deny it” of the 1st edition, but also all the single versions that have been released afterward ! Simply putting a Remix Cd has not more sense than what Sophie Ellis Bextor does with “wanderlust” … :-(
You Can’t Deny It (24/7) is on the new deluxe actually. But it should be a ‘rule’ that ‘second’ deluxe editions contain everything on the first. Most do adhere to that actually (Bowie, McCartney etc.) but not our Lisa it seems.
Status Quo have completely lost the plot. Numerous formats available, none seem to include all the songs… ugh!
Yes looks like that but after do some search myself i’ve founf how to get it all in 2 steps:
1) U Get the box where can find 24 of the 25 released tracks (22 on CD and 2 on 7″). Of course no download code for the single so if wanna get onto digital format have to do it yourself with a record player and the right software.
2) Finally for last one have to buy álbum on iTunes and oh surprise!!!! can’t get it alone so have to chase the entire álbum again (no vinyl included).
Been a big fan of those guys since WYW but seems to me that lately they’re getting a little out of place with things like this…
