Win a set of Everything But The Girl reissues

Edsel Records last month reissued the first four Everything But The Girl albums in beautifully presented two-CD casebound books. The reissues were put together with the full involvement of Ben and Tracey, and each one features a newly-written note by the couple, and all the lyrics.

Everything But The Girl reissues

Eden has seventeen bonus tracks, Love Not Money eleven, Baby, The Stars Shine Bright comes with an extra twelve tracks on the second disc, and Idlewild contains 18 additional songs including I Don’t Want To Talk About It. All of the reissues have unreleased home demos, as well as B-sides (and where appropriate A-sides).

  1. A dream come true. Great! Thank you so much, but I miss the rare track ‘Always on my mind’ (Live and Vocals by Ben Watt) from the limited edition single ‘Don’t Leave Me Behind’.

  4. I’ve been [t]here since very nearly the beginning. The early albums hold a special place, each as a special jewel—that is better, more beautiful, and indeed more special as you hold it to its own shining light. I am looking forward to these re-issues! Thanks, Edsel!

  5. My name is Andrei and I’m from Brazil. I love EBTG since 1987. At that time, I was 11 years old and it was very hard to find their LPs here in Brazil. I went to USA on 1988, June and I was dreaming of finding EBTG’s LP called Eden. Unfortunatelly I didn’t find it, but I bought Idlewild of EBTG and a Blow Monkeys LP. Those were the things I brought form this voyage that I like the most. I hope EBTG comes to Brazil one day for a show and I really have the hope to win those fantastic CDs.

  7. Been a fan since ’86. Never thought I’d see the day the soundtrack of my youth would see a reissue. Fantastic work… kudos to Edsel. (And Ben and Tracey, of course.)

  11. Man, it would great to win these. These take me back to 2006, when I met my last girlfriend. I got her singing Driving, my favorite EBTG song next to Troubled Mind. Good memories of a time gone by.

  19. I have their last two albums. This is a great way for me to get their first four! And June 29th is my Birthday! Lovely looking set!

  32. Another knockout set by Edsel. I ponied up for all 6 JAMC reissues, so I’m hoping to recoup on this fantastic set! Also, superdeluxeedition.com, you’re a bookmarked, visited-daily site for me. My friends all make fun of my music buying because I have to have the best version of a release (whether it’s a deluxe reissue or a $35 Japanese pressing that includes an exclusive bonus track.) I thought I was mental too, until your site told me that behaviour was OK!

  40. Love EBTG but gave up the ghost on facebook many moons ago, so it kind of discriminates against those who think facebook is a waste of time and energy, Would love to win these though, they look great

  43. EBTG really slipped under my radar until Amplified Heart. Been listening to early Tracey Thorne/Marine Girls lately so these would be perfect right now.

  54. I first got to know Everything but the girl during the age of Sky Channel and Music Box, when they were playing the music video for ‘Each and every one’ a lot. I didn’t like the song immediately, but eventually it grew on me. The band reappeared in my life from time to time, with songs like ‘Come on home’ and ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ (a much better version than Rod Stewart’s IMHO), and later the Massive Attack-style ‘Walking wounded’ album. The voice of Tracey Thorn is often mentioned ,but the credentials of Ben Watt shouldn’t go unnoticed. The pair have an astonishingly varied back catalogue and I think this re-release quartet was long overdue. But I’m very glad Edsel have handled the project well: these look like wonderfully beautiful sets. I don’t know anything from the album ‘Love not money’ but I do think all these albums would be a great addition to anyone’s cd collection (including mine).

  56. Brilliant! And it is an excellent reissue compared to some of the other badly compiled ones – this is amazing and well done Edsel!!

  58. I remember buying Eden on vinyl when it first came out in May 1984, after hearing “Each And Every One” on the radio. Would love to win these reissues!

  62. Edsel always does a great job with their super deluxe editions. (Thompson Twins comes to mind.) These look great. The upcoming Bronski Beat/Communards re-issues have me beside myself with excitement!

  64. If they sound as beutiful as they look I’m in. Have been waiting for deluxe editions of their early catalog forever. Thanks!

  82. Enter me please. These are the most visually attractive Edsel product so far. Thinking the BOOK EDITIONS are a result of all of the bitching over the creased spines of the Suede Deluxe CDs.

  99. Amazing, amazing. These EBTG albums guided me through some dark times, and helped to celebrate the return of light. One of my fondest life memories is from living in NYC 94-95 and wandering into an acoustic in-store performance at the upper west side HMV. just three songs, but yowza, what an impression! Can’t wait to hear these reissues…
