  4. I would love to win because I really like Aztec Camera’s music from long time already, it’s an elegant Brit Rock style, really first class music.

  5. “Love” is the first vinyl I remember to buy for myself when I was a kid. I can´t remember the reasons for this choice (Aztec Camera wasn´t a hit in Spain…), but it was touching, I discovered REALLY the beauty of music, the greatness that a tune could bring, listening to this album once and another. So it would be kind of the close of a circle to have Aztec Camera sounding again at home now that I have two childs who are starting to ask what´s on my stereo!!!!

  6. I have a radio show in a community radio (it’s voluntary work) where I play this kind of music…we reach 75 000 people a day on average, a really nice way to promote these (and other) re-issues…and Aztec Camera are a really great band who should get more airplay everywere!!!
    Thank you!!

  7. Well, I’ve already bought two of them (High Land….& Knife, if I win give those two to someone else), would love the rest. Have been buying Roddy’s music since the Rough Trade days (didn’t quite get on the postcard train), lovin’ Edsels reissues, Suede, JAMC, EBTG, McCulloch etc. Roddy’s solo stuff has been great too, especially ‘Winter Haven High’ from ‘The Reason For Living’ single set, up there in my all time fave tracks. That’s it really, would also love for those Postcard tracks to be collected up with maybe some early demo’s etc…..

  12. I deserve to win as I met Roddy at an Unbelievable Truth gig at LA2(London.)Obviously this gives me extra hipster points and as I was the first to recognise him at the show deserve the walkover win:)
    Thanks for the opportunity to win this great looking set of reissues.

    1. I loved the pop of Aztec Camera’s first couple of records. Then Good Morning Britian blew me away combining their deft lyrics with political urgency. This made me a fan for life.

  17. Seriously awesome. Aztec Camera are my fave band ever and even though I’ve probably already got all the extra tracks in one from or another, great to see them all coming out again in CD quality. Excellent!!

  19. I remember going nuts for Good Morning Britain back in the day and it was one of the first 7″ singles I bought. Would love the chance to explore more of their work.

  23. I am old enough to have been around when these came out on vinyl, and I always thought that Aztec Camera, along with Orange Juice and the Jazz Butcher, we’re the holy trinity of quirky, ’80s singer songwriters. Plus, I have never been able to find these albums as I live in north America. So give a yank a break, eh?

  24. For Aztec Camera ,I have never try their music before.But recently found their albums on web,so it’s interesting thing to hear new music from an old group.And i also like the new packaging for these 6 ablum packages.

  25. Would it be a good reason to win the competition the dozens of hours and hundreds of euros I spent searching and buying some hard-to-find Aztec Camera’s releases on eBay through the years? Because I still remember that 1985 US-only 10” I finally didn’t get after a tough bid with, probably, somebody from above. Anyway, this release has made my day, so I’ll be happy anyway if I don’t win…

  27. Oh if I had a pound for everytime I enter one of your competitions and win hee haw :-( it hurts even more when it’s a ban I love like Aztec camera, being a Scot and living near where roddy frame hails from it would be amazing to win these reissues and take me back to my youthful tearaway days :-)

  29. I’d like to win as I was a big fan of Roddy Frame’s music in the 80’s and remember his humour at one concert in Brussels when he covered a Van Halen song.

  36. I’m not getting tired listening to and admiring the EBTG re-issues by Edsel. That said, the boy wonders if paradise is (half as nice) the release of this batch of Aztec re-issues. Somewhere in my heart I know all I need is everything of this incredible band to accompany me on my walk into winter. I’ll jump from pillar to post and even spanish horses if I should be picked. Not in the least because oblivious is obviously the best song of the 80’s!

  38. Any of you planning on buying High Land Hard Rain, prepare yourself for a really nasty digital glitch on track 15. It’s on the master they used so all CDs have it. Thankfully, it’s a remix of Oblivious and not one of the songs on the original album

    Maybe this site could look into this?

  51. Aztec Camera is one of the most important bands of all time, especially in the 80’s. Roddy Frame is such a boy wonder, ahead of his generation.

    “High Land Hard Rain” is still my favorite Aztec Camera album, and “We Could Send Letters” is one of the best songs ever.

  53. Aztec Camera is one of the bands that matter in the 80s. Roddy Frame is a boy wonder in his own right. It would be a great addition in my collection of wonderful and magical music.

  57. I saw Aztec camera at Dingwalls Hull at the time of the Hard land Hard rain tour – Roddy was incredibley young and nervous , so was craig gannon, I was able to pick up one of Roddy’s plectrums at the ened of the night of the stage. i had a few of their early albums and but never got them on cd now is a good time to start.

  58. I’d love to win because I’ve been a huge fan since the first release, way back in the time before the internet, when it was about impossible to get news in America about new releases!

  59. Hard Land Hard Rain, Knife and Love were never out of my CD player in the 1980s…then again, they were never out of the player in the 90s either. Three truly classic albums full of great songs!

  64. I might be in Dreamland if I won
    It would cut like a Knife if I lost
    Over High Land, Hard Rain I’ve gone
    Frestonia was my home at no cost
    But now I’ve no reason to Stray
    Love this? Send the CD’s my way…

  67. I love Aztec Camera and was planning to buy these reissues one a month.
    However crap government cutbacks means i have been made redundant this week. Applying for new jobs will be a lot better whilst listening to these cool tunes!

  68. After more than 25 years, “Somewhere in My Heart” is still the ultimate love song for me, and “The Boy Wonders” slowly became the ultimate song of youth.

  70. i was a little late to the party with this band, but i’ve owned (most of) the catalog for ages. it’ll be nice to complete the collection with all the niche material too!

  71. Had Love on tape when it was released, but moved on to different types of music after that. These Edsel reissues are great, really looking forward to the Deacon Blue ones, and have all the Suede ones. I love this site, and it is a sign of the times I think how much more excited I am about classic 80s 90s albums reissued than any new music that is coming out. In the month of my 40th birthday, it would be great to win these and discover some new – old music.

  73. I’ve loved Aztec Camera since I was 12, I still remember fondly the first time I heard ‘We Could Send Letters’ on university radio here in Australia.

  74. I’d really like to win this set because :
    1. I love Aztec Camera
    2. I still got all of the albums either on LP’s or CD’s but the new packages look so nice!

  91. I have been selling off some of my beloved old CD albums so as to update them to the newer Deluxe, Special and Expanded Editions being released by Edsel, BBR, Cherrypop and Salvo, so these would be great to win because I no longer have these until I do update, including the 12inch versions featured on them as I have also parted with their beloved vinyl records.

  96. I would be willing to offer up a complete review of the Gabriel So tour at the Palace of Auburn Hills in return for these fab-gear issues.
    Thanks for offering them, much appreciated and good luck to everyone

  99. My cousin David was the original drummer in Aztec Camera and I remember the practicing in his house. What better reason to get a complete set of the re-issues

  106. Hello. Why should I win the complete Aztec camera set ? I really love them, I would balance on à knifes edge to get the set ewen walk the High land and conqur the hard rain in order not to stray, and really do everything for Frestonia , the dreamland of My youth.
    Hello from hans

  107. Bought the 1st album when it came out in 83…..bought the 1st cd back in 88…..on Rough Trade (no barcode)….Ive kept Mr Frame in royalties over the years…Its Payback Time!!

  108. Today i received my Aztec Camera deluxe cd from edsel. I must say that i don’t really like casebound book cd or digipacks. Prefer jewel case. Right from the start cd is scratched and have some marks. This things will happen also with Deacon Blue deluxe editions. Recently, same thing happen with Icehouse reissues, even Pet Shop Boys new album. It’s suppose to be collectors edition and not scratch or marks edition. Also i don’t see any “luxurious” in those packages. I’ll want to buy new cd and not pretty litlle book with damage cd.

  109. Roddy Frame is one of my favorite songwriters of all time. Although I love his 1st 2 albums (as well as his Postcard Singles), I’m not too familiar with his later work. I would love to win this set and start listening to his entire discography!

  110. I was in the Aztec Camera fan club and wore a leather fringed jacket (god, it was heavy!) and the bootlace ties and colour clips too. It certainly beat looking like a New Romantic. I’d love to win this wonderful prize so I can relive my teenage years.

  115. I’d love to win a copy of all the CDs – they look amazing. My wife is a big fan, so of course I would surprise her with them – provided I am afforded listening priveleges!)

  116. I would love to win them because I always liked Aztec Camera but never bought more than a couple of singles by them.

    I would love to discover more of their music.

  124. I miss the ’80s but SDE makes it seem like it wasn’t that long ago. I saw Atec Camera at Central Connecticut State University around 1988 – couldn’t believe they were playing in my backyard!

  127. It’s a shame Oblivious isn’t heard a great deal more. I played that single until even my sister knew the words. Their cover of Jump was also a great success in annoying my less fey friends.

  128. My first concert ever was Duran Duran, but my 2nd was Aztec Camera on the Knife tour in DC’s old WUST Hall(with openers Guadalcanal Diary and Tommy Keene). I’ve loved each of these bands ever since.
