Out This Week / on 16 December 2016
The Doors / London Fog 1966 (box set)
This Doors box set features unearthed audio recorded at the LA club London Fog in 1966. Includes CD and ten-inch vinyl.
Bob Marley & The Wailers / Live! (3LP vinyl set)
Bob Marley & The Wailer‘s classic 1975 Live! album is reissued as a triple vinyl deluxe package featuring the complete sets from both July ’75 shows at the London Lyceum.
Rush / 2112 (deluxe and super deluxe editions)
Rush reissue their 2112 album for the second time in four years. No 5.1 this time but a rather dubious ‘covers’ CD where other artists perform Rush material.
Dead Or Alive / Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI (vinyl box)
The 10LP version of this troubled Dead Or Alive set is released this week. All the albums are pressed on clear vinyl except for the bonus 10-inch which is an amazon exclusive.
Crowded House / Time On Earth (vinyl LP)
Crowded House‘s 2006 album is a bit of a slow coach as far as the vinyl reissue is concerned, but the 2LP set is issued this week.
Bon Jovi / This House Is Not For Sale: Live From The London Palladium
No flies on Bon Jovi. Their recent studio album This House Is Not For Sale has been out for barely a month, and already we have a live album. Depressing, in a way.
Visage / The Wild Life: The Best Of 1978 to 2015
Delayed from last week. Decent cover art aside, this new Visage ‘best of’ is rather unremarkable.
Evanescence / The Ultimate Collection (6LP vinyl box)
A career-spanning vinyl box of Evanescence studio albums which includes the commercial debut for the previously unreleased demo album Origin. Not out until January in the USA.
- • UK Order: The Ultimate Collection (vinyl box)

Love and Rockets / Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven (blu-ray audio)

Evanescence release in UK delayed until January Paul. As compensation Amy will sign an exclusive poster for all pre-orders that will be sent out next week !!
Hi Paul. I really enjoy your blog having been religiously checking it daily for that last couple of years. Is there any particular reason why you never mention any Super Deluxe Editions from Renaissance? They have an excellent 3CD/1DVD box set “Live at the BBC” scheduled for release this week.
Hi Robin… not really… other than they aren’t a band naturally ‘visible’ on my radar. But thanks for giving it a mention here.
Paul
I would guess Robin Trower is not on the radar either. Any news about him? He is still a massive concert draw in the US

@j, Paul did mention the first four Procol Harum albums being reissued by Esoteric in 2015 on which Robin plays. It would be impossible for him to track every artist, but I was pleasently surprised to see those mentioned as they are excellent. Looking forward to seeing PH at the Festival Hall in March with full orchestra.
They did the theme tune to The Paper Lads.
Yeah, that Love & Rockets release seemed to come out of ‘nowhere’. Paul, any info on whether any other similar L&R releases are in the offing or is this a one-off?
@Kevin: first time I read about it, a few weeks ago, is here: http://archive.beggars.com/
It was also mentioned on the Pixies post about Doolittle > http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/pixies-doolittle-on-5-1-blu-ray-audio/
I’d totally buy that L&R just to hear a 5.1 mix of “Saudade” (one of the most gorgeous acoustic songs of the 80s ever), but alas, I do not have the components in which to play it on. :(
This House Is Not For Sale.
