My copy has just arrived from Germany. Only just started playing it but really happy with my copy – John Waite’s “Missing You” is sounding so good! On Ellis Beggs & Howard now! Tune!

Hi Michael The Liebrand Mix of Need You Tonight is released on 12″/80/2

would also be nice:

INXS: I Need You Tonight (Ben Liebrand Mix) 7:14
Never released on CD

Hi,

Yes,you and G.Luca are right.

The “Extended Version” is rarer,I want just mean that I find the “Cutback” version better,that’s all.

Hi The Cutback mix is on the album Picture Book (Collecters Edition) which should be easy to get.

mmmm so 80s Yello , now we are talking!!

Wish they put the “Cutback Mix” of Money’s Too Tight instead of the original extended.

so8os presents Visage

I own all previous 8 volumes of “so80s” (in addition to a handful of other “so80s” artist editions and exclusive compilations like ZTT & Formel Eins) and will gladly add volume 9 to my collection. Piet, thank you for sharing information regarding the licensing of certain artists. It’s a shame that so many of these mixes will never see CD releases because of these licensing issues. Thank you for hunting down master tapes and giving us the best quality available. Thank you for listening to fan feedback. I will always support your releases. I’m looking forward to more volumes.

@Piet, I pre-ordered a copy of it! Many thanks for Missing You (Extended Version) – John Waite 7:02 & 19 (The Final Story) – Paul Hardcastle 8:33 ;)

Also thank you for the additional info’s on licensing and why some artists will or won’t allow for the release! It’s always interesting to know these kind of things :)

How about So80s Presents Pepsi & Shirlie or Eighth Wonder (Cherry Pop left out so many of them unreleased)? Of course Alison Moyet or Dead Or Alive would be nice (but to be honest, it would probably be very difficult)! Although I have many of them already, I still would love to see So80s presents Nick Kamen :D

I’m looking forward to this latest so80s release as I know the quality is always superb, thanks B&J!

Here’s another vote for that… ‘So80s Presents Dead Or Alive’ release… please :)

Just a quick question regarding the Nik Kershaw Radio Musicola 12″ versions (Radio Musicola and When A Heart Beats). Have these ever appeared on CD yet? Looking for the latter track especially.

Cheers
David

Hey Piet, quick question. Have you guys thought about a Den Harrow artist release? None of your releases have any Den Harrow songs. The only one who has it is Blanco Y Negro in Spain. Are there licensing issues? Or issues because he didn’t sing himself (Tom Hooker did as everyone knows)?
Thanks for including “Closest Thing To Heaven”. That is one of the most beautiful songs ever!!

heres a couple more unreleased 12” mixes on cd
amazulu montego bay
break machine are you ready
this island earth see that glow

Hey Piet,

i love the tracklist for the new release – especially the inclusion of Debbie harry’s “French Kissin’ In The USA” previous compilations only passed of the album version as “Extended Mix”.

Are there plans to issue a dedicated release for Alison Moyet? 12″ Versions of her first 3 Albums are quite hard to find on CD. And her B-Sides also had many exclusive tracks. Would be heaven to get those on CD.

Regards Marc

Piet-
Only 2 are on my wish list as I have never heard a good vinyl copies and have loved them forever-
Chenko (Tenka-io) (No Reservations Mix) by Red Box and
Band of Gold (Long Version)(remixed by Arthur Baker)-Bonnie Tyler.

That’s all.

It would be great to collect all Alison Moyet remixes and 12″ versions on a special compilation, nothing official has ever been issued on CD.

I can just add to the last comment here… The True Faith Shep Pettibone Dub would be amazing on Vol. 10!

Thanks for the New Order Touched By The Hand Of Dub mix, a first on CD. I can see you guys are overwhelmed with requests, however one last must have track from New Order is the Shep Pettibone dub mix of True Faith (arguably their best known song). It was originally released by Factory on the b side of the remix 12, and also in the US (on Qwest records) re titled as ” alternate Faith dub”. Has never appeared on CD, and coming up for 28 years of age! Would be a crackers for your volume ten. I hope your sales keep you going for a long time, there’s still so much stuff out there….

Would also love to see a release for Dead or Alive, Seccession, Eurythmics, and Boy George. For the life of me, I cannot understand why Dead or Alive (who is one of the biggest high energy groups of the eighties) doesn’t already have a release? I know Pete Burns can be extremely difficult, but wouldn’t he want the money?

I want to provide a second vote for a collection of Secession 12″s and b-sides. I have read that this has been considered/discussed/attempted previously, but ran into a variety of issues (licensing and Peter Thomson’s death in 2001) that kept it from getting any momentum. In fact, a 3 disc set w/ a remastered version of ” A Dark Enchantment” along with all of the band’s 12″ tracks and b-sides would be absolutely fantastic!

I was mistaken. The Wang Chung track is available on a compilation CD issued in the Netherlands in 2012: “Dance Classics, Pop Edition Vol. 7” (www.discogs.com/release/3521576).

Great news: The full 15 minute version of Yello’s “Live at the Roxy” has only been released on CD once, on the German CD Single (of the same name). Thanks for digging that one up!

And since this appears to be a wishlist thread: I wish for the Jellybean Benitez remix of “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” (known as “12 inches of fun”) to finally become available on CD.

Piet, are you also going to continue releasing more so90s compilations? I liked the first release and i play it a lot.

Many thanks to both of you for your contribution to avid 80’s collectors. With so few 12″ or rare titles being released in this day and age, it sure is fantastic to keep the dream alive.
I, like many others would cherish an opportunity to own a Dead or Alive collection. Please consider this a top priority, if anyone can, you two will find a way. If I could dare to dream, a Secession collection would also be priceless.
One last rare track I would love to own someday is the Extended Mix of Flesh Under Skin by National Velvet.
Love the track listing of So8os 9. Amazing Dubs as well. Keep up the incredible work boys!

hi guys great new cd.just some suggestions of 12” mixes unreleased on cd.chaka khan eye to eye,jimmy nail love dont live hear anymore,shelia e the belle of st mark,phil lynott yellow pearl ,mick karn and midge ure after a fashion,feargal sharkey you little thief.thanks

As a BIG fan of Phil Harding, I too think a So80’S presents Dead Or Alive edition would be great.
I have a lot of them transfered from vinyl myself and have some on CD. It needs to be at least a 2 CDset though there are so much and such long mixes.
Perhaps some of you missed Phil Harding Club Mixes of the 80’s well worth checking out.

As for So80S 9. You guys did a great job, AGAIN, glad you stepped of of the mixed CDs. Not that they were not good. They were very good mixed but I prefer the original 12-Inch versions.

Dear OR Alive. oops

I would add another vote for Dead of Alive. SO overdue for a comprehensive collection.

Piet, can I ask why you went for the Us Master dub of All She Wants Is and not the unreleased House Dub 2 please? That probably would have ensured another 100 sales from Duranies?

thank you all for the great suggesntions here. we always have a big pool of wish lists and these tracks will certainly find their way into it, if not already listed.
once again: it is not possible to clear tracks from depeche mode or pet shop boys for compilation which carry the name “80s” in their name…the artists don’t want to accociated with that decade…or not only…
others like the rolling stones, bruce springsteen, eurythmics don’t approve thrird party comps at all…as artists we respect that decision, as fans, we really hope that the mixes will find inclusion on deluxe editions at least…but as you might remember from the nik kershaw releases sometimes the artists never liked their club mixes and are happy not listen to them anymore ; )
but there are many other great tracks out there for which we hope to find the master tapes someday…so anyone who has connections to tape archives, please contact us anytime….

Very pleased to see the extended dance mix of Madness’s ‘Our House’ from the Geffin 12″ single finally released on CD.

Hi Piet Great job please continue to track down rare mixes from the 80’s as you can see at this forum there is a demand for this.

Craig,
Ben Liebrand has his own set of CD’s of remixes. Look at his website for the Grand 12 Inches. I’m sure there’s more chance of him releasing a Wham megamix if he put it together though I guess it also involves the record company.

Great! Thanks for the reply, Piet.

Can I put in a shout for The Associates?

Hi Piet

I’d like to echo the suggestion of a SO CHRISTMAS extensions !

That could be very very special.. as the eighties was cram full of some wonderful all-time greats and left field seasonal gems.

Thank You.

Thanks for all the hard work on these!

Some “requests” for future issues:

Berlin – Masquerade, The Metro, No More Words, Dancing in Berlin
Sparks – Music That You Can Dance To (US 12″)
Wham Megamix by Ben Liebrand
Dead or Alive – Brand New Lover
Style – Telephone
+ 1 – Nevermore
Depeche Mode – No Disco (Razormaid Mix), Master And Servant (US Black and Blue Mix)
ABC – How To Be A Millionaire (US 12″)

Looking forward to the release!

Many thanks AudioDile and Robbert for your great suggestions!

After Falco, Sandra, Hubert Kah, Alphaville…. so8os présents “Yello”…

I will be getting this.
Just a note to Piet – compilations require a lot of negotiation with the companies to get permissions/masters for these compilations – have you yet tried to get Rare Eurythmics tracks like the Dance Mix of “You have placed a chill i my heart?” I’m pretty certain I would pay big money for a remastered copy of this track (along with many others). However the powers that be seem to have no interest in releasing these. Have you experienced something similar in your compilation journey? And what can we do to change their minds?

The excellent 1984 dance mix of ‘You Don’t Love Me’ by Marilyn never saw a digital release. It should have been included on the Cherry Pop album reissue ‘Despite Straight Lines’, but it didn’t. Kinda unbelievable, because it was his best 12 inch he produced in his career at Phonogram. Hope you will consider to add this one on a future volume Piet. That would be really awesome.

Just in case Piet is still checking the comments, Will the mastering be along the same lines as So80s 8? The best sounding volume for me!

Bryan ‘Chuck’ New, there’s a name from my dim and distant past! I used to work with him back when he was recording and mixing for Jive Records for the likes of Billy Ocean, Ruby Turner, Jonathan Butler and MC Jazzy Jeff (no relation to Jazzy Jeff of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, aka Will Smith) whose track Rock It was ‘Chuck’s best mix I think. I wonder what became of him? :-)

Piet,
There’s a few Talk Talk US remixes, some of which have been released on CD.

It’s My Life (US 12″ Mix) can be found on 12″/80s

Such A Shame (US Remix) can be found on German issue Pop & Wave not released in the UK .

Life’s What You Make It (US Remix)
Living In Another World (US Remix)
Why Is It So Hard? (US Remix)
To my knowledge have only been released on vinyl or cassette.

Simply Red’s single was called “Come To My Aid” instead “Come To My Head”.
